Friday Confessions
Sorry I missed last week. I think it’s understandable, though. I mean, I hope it is. What with not even being on this continent and such.
Anyhow. On to this week’s confessions. Jeez, I have been a slacker. Mentally, diet-wise, and budget-wise.
1) I had vegetables twice while I was away. Okay. One of those times, the vegetable in question was tomato sauce. Back on the veg wagon with me!
2) I meant to write some songs for the musical. That’s what long-haul flights are for, right? Nope! Turns out there’s nothing inspiring about being wedged into cattle class and periodically rammed with the drinks trolley. I can suffer for art, but I’ve got to be able to move my limbs to do it.
3) I racked up the credit card more than I mean to. On one hand, that’s what vacations are for, right? And I did need new clothes, and of course, the bras. And I needed ot buy those three-for-ten-quid pashmina knockoffs. And…well. You get the picture. I’ll be a little frugal for a while and it’ll all work out.
Anyone else got anything to confess?

I confess that I’m finding my allergies a little akin to being high these days – and if it weren’t for the headaches and having to Get Things Done, they’d almost be fun.

Yeah, but British vegetables aren’t usually worth eating, in my experience. Well, except for mushy peas. Mushy peas!
I confess to almost forgetting my own sister’s 30th birthday. I am a bad sister. And just wait until next week: I’ll forget my father’s 65th. Sure, I’m remembering it this minute. And I’ve written it down. But the day will come, and it will be getting toward evening, and I will have the vague feeling I’ve forgotten something. And then I will look at the clock and it will be 10:30 where he is. Stupid time zones! I blame them, but they are only a small part of the problem. The real problem is me and the birthday-remembering part of my brain, which is so small as to almost not exist.

Arwen, maybe you can book a little vacation time to get down with your high-like allergies?
Rachel, I haven’t got a big birthday-remembering brain part either. Well, maybe I just filled it up with Duran Duran facts when I was 12, and I can’t put anymore info in.

I always have good intentions on an airplane. Once I get past my anxiety of actually being on airplane, I find the environment is productive-friendly.
Confessions….I was sick last week so I mostly stayed home and felt sorry for myself. I didn’t have the energy to do anything bad. This week, I’m sure, will be different.
