POCKET, MEET BURNING HOLE

What in the hell is the matter with me and damn writer’s block? It’s not like I have anything earthshattering to say. Welcome to the journal of the notorious Fitzandstarts! I’ve been editing last year’s journal entries (the 3 previous years are long-done and getting impatient) and geez louise, I posted something nearly every day! What energy! Where did my energy go? *looks suspiciously under the desk* A colleague at work the other day told me she didn’t understand a friend of hers who didn’t like to go anywhere or do anything on vacation, and then was shocked when I...

NOT AN EXCUSE, JUST A STATUS REPORT

3 solid days of meetings which included evening activities, unsettling re-org news and much wasted time. 4 hours of sleep last night thanks to the fly party that started at 4 a.m. 1 pile of dead flies. Headache, fever and achey-ness today. No desire for writing anything, at all. *** Aside: Christina, I’ve not forgotten, I swear. You’ll have it tomorrow. I’ve read it and am thinking through my feedback. 🙂 Many Many Belated Birthday Ones to totte and jax_in_sweden and Firecrackery Splosion Birthday Wishes to shazzerlive!
