This month has been a stressful one with regards to my day job. I have consoled myself with my writing. My characters continually call to me – Forget your anxieties. Come and play with us for a while. Sometimes I think it is the only thing that keeps me from screaming in frustration (and scaring the neighbours).
I am thankful for my wonderful family – who support me. I could not have made it through the past eighteen months without them. I am also thankful wonderful friends who have listened to my grumbles and helped wipe up the tears.
This week one of my friends posted me a package. Inside was a lovingly hand made choker – with a steampunk theme – in my favourite colour. It even had an octopus! Thank you Sharon. It cheered me up on a black day.
