short focus

May 21, 2010 17:30

For the last while, a couple-few months at least now, I've only been able to focus on things that are (almost literally) directly in front of me. I simply do not have the energy, the time, or the desire to cope, care, or frankly, to be bothered by anything or anyone needing my attention for anything more than diversion and kittens ( Read more... )

Dearest, this is the post that I've been wanting to make for some time. I've felt the same way, with all of the drama I've been going through and with all of the energy it's taking to set up my future. I deeply appreciate all of the help my people have given me, and I've tried to be there for them, but then, like you say, there is a threshold. In a universe of billions, we each come first.

So no guilt. You are a GREAT friend when someone is truly in need. You always have been to me. And right now, I'm good :) But I know that if the shit hits the fan, you'll be there for me, as I will always be there for you. Much love.

(p.s. I'm so sad now that I'm not going to Wiscon! But even if I could swing a last-minute trip, I have a yard sale next weekend!)

Looking forward to seeing you at WisCon! Vacation = yay! And the con has always helped me to recharge, both emotionally and writing-wise. Talking with other writers, attending panels about writing, and celebrating writers (both guests of honor and other writers whose writing you enjoy) is always inspirational.

See you on Thursday! If the drive really does take 6 hours (I seem to remember it taking about 5, but there may have been a time warp involved), I'm hoping to be there by 2-ish. I'll give you a call when I arrive.

Yes and yes. And the worst is when you start to see light again and the next big giant unavoidable thing drags you right back down again. Life should be more than just surviving.

I really feel that we have accrued a huge karmic plus from all the suck of this last decade and this new one has to be better, for everyone.

I so wish I could make it to Wiscon to hang out with you. It would have been great to catch up in real life, but like I feared was going to happen my project is way behind deadlines (never realistic, those deadlines).

Hope life returns to peaceful levels for you soon.
