Another beautiful day today. Fall-like, sunny, warm but not hot, breezy... perfect, in other words. :D I was shocked when I went to write a check last night though - I was thinking it was around the 20th! I really need to pay more attention to the real world...
But today I've finally caught up on all the sleep I needed, and even though I have to work tonight, the idea isn't grinding me down. I've got several things to get done and I'm looking forward to the activity - definitely a sign I'm back on top of things. :D
Have decided to rethink the title of my original story - had some discussions about titles on some of the writing forums I'm on, and I decided that since I'm not really enthralled with the current working title, I need to find something that I like as much as the story itself. Otherwise it's going to be that little fly buzzing around my head every time I work on the damn thing :p
And my son called last night - was so good to hear his voice again. Was waxing a bit nostalgic the last few days, with fall coming, and the back to school sales, etc. I still remember his first day of school...

Back to 'normal', whatever that is...
Jun. 13th, 2010 09:51 amMy son and brother left about an hour ago for the airport.
The house seems very, very empty now.
And it's cold, and rainy, and matches my mood perfectly.
I have to work tonight, and then again Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Just adds to my general feeling of wanting to go to bed and stay there. For a long, long time.
Motherhood isn't fair. You have your kids for 18 years and then suddenly you're supposed to let go and find a new life.
Not fair at all...
