I think the main reason at the moment is that my book is so near to completion that any length of time over about twenty minutes that I get to spend at the computer, is spent editing and making notes. And, of course, I need longer than twenty minutes to do a post and catch up on people's Xangas. Which I will do starting in about half an hour when I've done this, and sorted the kids' tea.
The boys go on holiday tomorrow, for the longest time ever, over a week! I'm looking forward to the first few days (see earlier comment re: book completion) but I know that by about Wednesday, when I go back to work, I'm going to be twitchy for a hug from the little one and fun conversation with the big one - who, by the way, is sixteen tomorrow!!  (how the hell did that happen?!)
My finances are crappier than ever, but we get a bit of a bonus next month which should, at least, get me up to date with the rent, even if my credit cards are shot to hell. Still thinking about an "individual voluntary arrangement" but before I do that I'm going to take a little bit of that bonus and set up another account, or put some of it into Robbie's so I'm not too constrained. This is the trouble I was referring to, and when I put it into perspective, which I've been doing lately, although I sometimes feel sick with worry, most of the time I think "bloody hell, at least I live here in Plymouth, have my home, my job and my boys." Once I get that part straight the rest of it doesn't seem to matter.
Mum and Eddie are coming down next month, so will book a few days off then - can't wait! Saw them last on my birthday last year, so it'll be all but a year! Don't know what we'll do but it doesn't matter, it'll just be so good to see them.
First book is still with the publisher, they haven't told me yet whether they want to publish it, still don't know if that's a good sign or a bad one! Well ... pfft! The new book is more fun anyway!
I'm trying to inject a little fun over at rmo.com by revamping the chat area into a coffee lounge! *lol* Bit mad I know, but it'll be fun to see what others are eating/drinking, "sit down" with them and maybe have a little party now and again! The place just seems so flat lately, apart from the Aus tours there's just nothing to talk about. This won't change that, of course, but it may be a bit more fun to pretend to be in that kind of environment, it's good for the imagination; give it a little workout! I'm even 'decorating' the place out in honour of Mr Marx! (to be honest I think I'm a bit on the loopy side today ... *sigh*)
