Taking the temperature

I hope that you, like I, are feeling the stronger sun and feeling incredibly heartened by those tiny buds finally showing up on the trees. I have been very much in planning mode this past week, riding a sort of writerly-and-other-works-spring-cleaning wave if you will, getting ready to tackle some larger projects this coming spring and summer, and feeling cautiously optimistic about my energy levels (and my health overall) now that the icy grip of winter is finally retreating.
