A 3,000 Word Day!

I'm not caught up yet, but getting a little bit closer. Today I should be at 25,000 words but I'm only at 18,900 or there abouts (an 800 word morning!) I feel a bit more on track for NaNo, but I'm neglecting everything else in my life.

The reason I give people, when they ask why I am still single, is that I don't feel I can give enough attention to another person to make a relationship work. At this point in my life I am totally focused on myself and my dreams for the future. I don't want to involve someone else in my pursuit when I can't give them equal attention in the pursuit of their own dreams. And I certainly don't want someone who sets their dreams aside for mine, because that isn't healthy (and leads to nasty, guilt-ridden fighting later on

Thanks. I really needed to get that out.

I guess I'm just not getting enough me time and it's wearing on me. It probably wasn't the best year to try a NaNo since we just moved across the state and away from all our friends, so we're pretty much our own little island, and work schedules are hard on all three of us. It makes be feel guilty for doing something for myself. If I want me time, I take someone (usually Jim) with me just because I feel guilty leaving him behind. It's part of the reason why I haven't signed up for dance lessons yet. I'd feel guilty about it, leaving him home alone while I went out. It's a testament to our realtionship that I feel that way, but it still wears on me.

We're still working out that balance thing in our new situation. I might have to be a little more selfish to get what I need out of it.

Thanks for the advice.

*hugs*

I really am sorry I'm leaving you to pick up the slack right now. I can look for a different job with a more accommodating schedule if it gets too bad.
