The fog is lifting? Maybe?

I've been in a place of serious mental fog lately, but I think it's finally starting to lift. I feel motivated today, at least, which is a step in the right direction.

Of course, staring at my daunting list of things that need to be done, some of that motivation is sliding away. I have changed the heading of "Essays" to "Essays (1st Draft)" to make it seem a little less final. I have room to leave stuff out and screw up and not be completely coherent, because there's going to be a second draft. I think I might start on an essay today.

I've also done a little bit on the Dúthracht and the Ceangal; I need to finish the Dúthracht, first, but one has given me some ideas for the other. I'm pretty sure I've got all the elements I want to incorporate, but I want to look it over again before I start writing.

So much to do, and so much to think about! At least I've got a bit of motivation, now.
