Ugh

[melkahb]

Around 11 hours of work today. Not as much as some, I know, but I like having a job where I go home after 8 or so. Thus the ugh.

Writing still coming slowly, still a struggle. I still can't say exactly why.

No, for those curious souls, we did not see the bear the other night

We have also been feeling like something has been pounding at the gate, needing boiling oil and other ancient weapons to keep it at bay. Must be the season.

No bears here. Kai would have delighted in a bear though. The squirrels aren't enough amusement.

It's been blah all over. Spent time with an attorney friend who said she was tired of working weekend after weekend, but knew too many attorneys who were out of work, so felt she should be grateful. I think this is a virus.

There's a fine line between doing something out of a justified sense of unease and doing something out of fear. The former is a perfectly justified reaction to unstable situations, but it can easily morph into the latter, which is the downfall of ambition, hope, and bliss. That said, right now it's better to have a job than not (as is, honestly, usually the case), especially when you're in a profession that requires a specific skill-set outside of repairing refrigerators. I don't blame her for staying a something that's not making her perfectly happy right now. Hopefully, she'll have the chance to change the bits she doesn't like before too long.

The bear thing is just random. I mean, bear? Really? Huh.

Anyway.
