Oh, hi!

[blamebrampton]

So in a very brief recap, I was made redundant and sent off with enough money to not work for a while, so I've taken July off. I might take August off, too, I'm going to play it by ear. After working like a maniac and stressing myself into a pretzel for years, I am very much enjoying not working and have instead been gardening, making things, learning to play the mandolin and writing my own stories. And realising how stressed I had been. You'll not be surprised to learn I seem to no longer have a stomach ulcer. Also, totally failing to be a good communicator. Emma, I will get those things to you! Oceaxe, I'm crap and keep failing to get back to you. Pretty much everyone, sorry!

All cats are still alive, the garden is coming along nicely: tomorrow I plant late potatoes! I keep meaning to write about politics or world events, but the short version is 'Oh, for fuck's sake…', so let's just say instead that I went to the dog park with doggy friends on the weekend and a pug climbed into my lap, as did a basset hound/laborador cross and I met a tiny tiny French bulldog puppy. Good day.

Which brings me to a poll!

I second this wholeheartedly. I kept on looking for the YES INDEED option.

NOOOOOO! I thought we were friends! If anything, there should be a 'Sign up to be a pinch hitter and write something short if it is necessary, but get out a big bouncing novel I can buy so you can write full time and still pay all the bills.'

Only half my LJ friends are any use at keeping me committed to Sensible Adult Decisions. Which is reasonable, I suppose, because only half of me is, too.
