Feeling stressed...
Yes, I know... join the club!
Feeling stressed, part one: Want to write but have a million things getting between me and my work. Am at that stage where I wonder how I ever get a book started let alone finished!!
House is a tip, friends are neglected and have business meetings stretching as far as the eye can see... then dh is taking a day off and I want to be with him. OK, I know, I just won't sleep. This story has to be told, my characters are waiting in the wings- and none too patiently!
Feeling stressed, part two: Yep, I think we all know the true source of my 'stress'... last chick leaving the nest syndrome...
Brought a tear to the maternal eye when I saw minimus carrying out her plastic caddy full of cleaning products...
I left home when I was 17 to go to the Royal College of Music- and from then on until the day I married I carried a cleaning kit round with me. Theatrical digs were none too clean and many a time my stay in a new place would start with a thorough spring-clean... Oh, the glamour of the stage (pause for hysterical laughter)
But to see minimus carrying on this tradition was quite moving, for some reason.
The good news is... her uni' hall of residence is absolutely spotless. Set in parkland, she shares a flat with four other students and each of them has their own sitting room/bedroom with bathroom ensuite over looking the lush gardens where squirrels play. And the carpet is clean. The bathroom was spotless, and the whole place was newly decorated. She had to dig me out of there and send me home, I can tell you!
Love to all, and happy reading everyone!
