a fortnight, really?

really? it's been a fortnight (well tomorrow it will have been) since my last post? where DOES the time go?

having a big and busy full time job will do that...and a trip to Canberra, and a fall at Bunnings....yep, it's been a busy few weeks...

i'd like to say i can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but i'm not sure i can...

it's also been 2 weeks since i did any writing! but that's not so bad, as i have read a great book (The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes) and I have got until Easter Monday to write the full 100,000 words...so still a bit of time up my sleeve...

the bit that comes after the 100,000 words is the scary bit! meaning, seriously considering sending it to publishers: of course it needs some tidying up before it's ready for that, but that's the aim...

and no, it won't be published under a pseudonym, no sirree! why would i work my butt off to write a book and then not take credit for it? nope, definitely not my style...

although, mostly i am a quiet achiever, but still, this is a big big achievement and so not one i'm going to go by without some celebration and pride in self!

so, what's happened in the 2 weeks? work continues to be busy, manic at times...one of my staff had a teary on me friday and i think perhaps i let her 'fear' infect me, and consequently spent a large part of yesterday's session with Sal talking about finding the line, installing the boundary and then not moving towards...guess i've still got some work to do on that! in my effort to support her and show empathy, i probably left with her insecurities, and really, she should have left with them...oh well, we learn!

had a fall at Bunnings Thursday night which has meant a few days of stiffness, soreness, pain and initially, scary dizziness....so have been laying low and hoping that will be all behind me very soon!

Blues had another crap game in the NAB cup, and sure, it doesn't mean anything, but still, I'm not encouraged by what i saw!

and now i think i may write, so au revoir it is...

nite!
