Can I have a drink?

I’ve been scrambling for two days to try to ensure a work project I’ve been trying to put together for months doesn’t get derailed by a manager wanting his team to get part of the work.  And for a few hours it really looked like the whole thing was going to blow up.  And I just now got the email saying “Okay, looks good,  Go forward” and I’m so fucking relieved I want to shut down my computer and have a drink…but I’ve been scrambling instead of doing other work. 

**whines** Adulting is hard!!

At
work I do my writing in a tiny notebook that fits in my pocket and I
lay in wait of the terrifying day that I lose it and someone reads it.
So I feel your pain on the writing porn in public thing, I guess was the point of that story idk

That’s awesome!  I know, borrowing writing time from RL time always feels fraught with danger.  God forbid the PTA ever learns what my hobby is.

I will likely stop writing for a while.

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.
