The Shape of Today

Shaking it off

The storm I have mentioned in previous entries goes on, though it's somewhat muted for now...Dad's in rehab where I trust his recovery will ease matters for us. It was his own idea to go back into the hospital; he saw how much I was struggling to care for him. We've been given another chance for which I am grateful.

I simply had no time to devote to writing, so I let my WDC membership slide back into "Basic". However, now that things are settling somewhat the writing bug is biting me again so I've upgraded once more. I need writing back in my life...not being able to attend to it was making me miserable. Would this struggle make for good writing material? Of course...but right now I have no plans to use it. It's still too close to me, and nothing I have in mind would benefit from it.

So...NaNoWriMo? I don't know. I was less than delighted with my last project for that event, so if I get into the act this year it will probably be with something new. It all depends on how things go here on the home front. On the work front as well...things have been unsettled there, too, but I've been so distracted by my personal concerns I haven't had time to do more than roll with the changes. I do know things were getting so bad here at home I was actually looking forward to going to work and viewing the end of the workday with dread.

Yes, it's been tough. But as a (now former) co-worker told me: "I don't have to like it...I just have to survive it." And I have. Time to wake up again.
