Holiday blues

[wiseheart]

Well; a week and a half of the long-awaited summer holiday is over already, and I don't feel particularly rested. Of course, doing more writing (even if general interest for the results is the same as always, it's still a Good Thing in my books) and more research is time-consuming, and so is doing some sensible cooking. Time seems to fly much faster the older I get.

I guess the same is true for my online friends. Everyone is swamped with work, and we are barely present in cybrspace. There was a time when I complained about the fact that if someone else's goldfish had a heartburn it got more attention than my workplace stress or that I nearly broke my neck when stupidly climbing onto a chair in the bathtube to fix something or other in the bathroom. Now I'd be just grateful if people were still present and I knew they were all right. I miss them.

So glad to still have you, Linda and Jenn and Dís and the few others who are still around!

Yeah, I read about your house-hunting adventures. *g*
In a way, I almost envy you. To be able to start something entirely new might be a challenge, but it's also refreshing.
Me, I just wish I could retire. Getting irreversibly old, I guess. And If I'm cursed to be lonely, at least I'd like to enjoy the solitude as long as I can. Alas, instead I can look forward for another six years of anxiety or so, about keeping a job that gives me incresingly less satisfaction. *sighs*
But at least it still pays the bills, so I'm doing my best to keep it.

Refreshing is one way of putting it -- downright terrifying is another! And aie, the things one needs to do to pay the bills...
