Overtime, Crafts, Writing, and ME

Dear Shell,

Work has been going well. Lots of overtime, but I expected that when I hired into the company. The work is easy and my team has been great. My boss was pretty cool about letting me take this weekend off to recover from exhaustion and an ear infection/sinus infection.

The downside to working all the overtime... I haven't had much ME time, for my crafts or my writing. I think I've only dedicated 2-3 hours total to writing since I started working again, and some of that was on editing not new writing (although the editing seriously needs to get done). The past two weeks I haven't done much with crocheting either. I'm still at the 2/3rds mark on the 3rd lap blanket. I tried to crochet some last night, but ended up napping instead. Really needed the nap though.

I woke up this morning with a scene for one of my novels running through my head. So far I've been awake 4-5 hours and I have three sentences of it written down. Oops.

I miss writing. I miss my writing group. I've missed all meetings since NaNo ended. Its hard to head to Flint at 6pm for a meeting on a Sunday though when I've been up since 3am and already put in 8 hours of work and have to be up at 5am the next morning. Hopefully next weekend when the next meeting is scheduled I'll be able to make it, since I had this weekend off to recover and catch up on some sleep.

Well, I'm going to try to get the rest of this scene written down while it's still running through my head.

wondering where her sanity is,
Shell
