GBP and I are both working (yes, I know it’s 10:40 at night and I get up at 5, what’s your point?). Out of the blue he approaches and…
GBP: What’s that word for stick-to-it-iveness?
Me: Perseverance?
GBP: That’s the one.
I’ve literally been giggling for 5 minutes now, muttering “stick-to-it-ivenss” under my breath. And I still have math to do and rum to drink before I can sleep. And sorry, no FWW today…
1. Work is so busy I want to cry.
2. Children need stuff sometimes.
3. I got a short spiky new haircut with three colors, though I don’t think the red is bright enough.
4. I literally fell into an obsession with a new fandom that I’m just now not ridiculously obsessed with (00q…sorrynotsorry)
But the good news is that I’m away on business tonight and fully intend to take myself to dinner somewhere I can see the ocean and write Pinto on my iPad. While drinking wine. So there endless amount of work I should be doing instead.

Dream trip: I actually traveled quite a bit before kids, so for places I haven’t been, Middle Earth New Zealand
Dream job: retired so I can write. But actually, my job isn’t that bad, other than stress. I just whine a lot.
What am I wearing at the moment: “trouser” jeans, blue and white shirt, sweater jacket thing, ankle boots. Work clothes.
um… I’ll tag mightymads, blushingkate, cannedebonbon, elisa-pie, geiszlerandgaila, hopeforyouyet, itreallyisthelittlethings, keep-calm-and-ks, llongwayfromhome, loves-pie, mikasoze, nixsducky, rycolfan, shards-of-divinity, silent-bridge. trekbedtimestories, talewii, wintry-mix and all the rest of you too.
I just came home from a trip where I learned that several work projects are not going well, and I really don’t like my job, and my husband told me that he’s felt for YEARS that he’s my lowest priority (after work, girls, online friends and writing). I think he’s only here now because of the children, which is something I never wanted to model for my kids.
I still love him, and don’t want him to feel like that. There is only so much of me to go around.
So…
I use writing as an escape from my life. I need to focus on my life so I don’t need to escape it permanently.
