And it feels like I'll never, ever get the chance to just curl up with a book for the fun of it again ever in my life. At least not till I'm very, very old.
It won't be that long. First, as you note, you'll have that time between 8-11 to yourself. (That's when I wrote the first book. Also at lunchtime at work.) And as Laura notes kids get more independent as they get older and don't need the constant engagement.
Yay for pretty good days, Juliana!
I think I need to start making lists and plans so I can feel a bit more in control of things. Lists/plans can be dangerous for me when I expect too much of myself and then get frustrated over falling short, but OTOH I need them at times like this when I look at my life and am overwhelmed by the sheer number of things that need to happen. If I start writing things down, it seems less chaotic and scary, and helps me sort out my priorities.
Has anyone heard from Polter Cow recently? I've seen his LJ a couple of times, where he's much involved with Veronica Mars, but I'm wondering how his life is in general.
Huh. It's past midnight. I'm now officially 25.
Doesn't feel much different than 24, yet. Mostly, tired. Time for bed, I think. Maybe I'll feel more 25 in the morning.
Happy birthday, Hil!
Mine just ended. 'Twas fun. Food was et. Drinks were drunk. I am tired.
Connie, he popped into the Firefly thread tonight. So we know he's alive, anyway.
How was your party, Jess?
Happy Birthday Hil!
I think my mom is at an Eagles concert. Her phone called me.
