How are you feeling right now?
Right now, I feel good. I was wide awake at one thirty, so I got up to write. I love it when writing kicks me out of bed! For so many years my soul was yearning to write but I was caught up in what had to be done. I was married with two children. Bud and I worked alternate shifts to care for them. I suppose I did write a lot out of necessity, now that I think of it. We both wrote a lot of notes.
“Make sure Kate doesn’t get off without her $12 dollars and permission form for the field trip. It’s in an envelope in her backpack. She has to wear that red Tshirt and white pants I left on her dresser. Don’t let John get off without a belt. He got a warning note yesterday. Matt Ford’s mother is going to drop him off for a ride to bus stop if it’s raining. Remind kids to get lunch money out of cup in kitchen window. I left a roast in crockpot for dinner. Please make sure it’s heating up before you lie down. Please have kids fold towels in dryer. Love you.”
I’d find a note from Bud when I got in. He would have just lain down for a late nap after the kids got in from school.
“John has to turn in his book report tomorrow! Don’t let him go out doors till he finishes it. He will get an F! I washed a load of jeans. They’re still in dryer. I forgot to call you, we need bread, milk, apples, and Kate needs posterboard. Can you run to Walmart? Sorry. She didn’t tell me till I was getting ready to lie down. Love you.”
Now the kids are long grown, we are both retired so I write what and when I want. Everything in its time.

I’m trying to write a book right now… It’s hard! I have days where I feel I know exactly what to write, and the next day I delete everything and start over. ugh.

This should be that time for me, but with “no parking” till nine or ten at night and then more “no parking” after 8 AM, with deliberate malicious awakenings multiple times a night and continuous sound harassment all day long, I can’t write at all now.

Those notes are utilitarian and also most amusing. Good thing you were both good at writing.

One time he left one, “The dog threw up on the bed. Didn’t have time to clean it up.” In a lifetime, he wasn’t going to have time to clean it up!

Right now I am feeling worn out and tired it 8pm and I will be in bed in an hour or so.
I also like to write letters to penpals and blog posts both I find fulfilling and for the most part relaxing

You beat me to it this morning. I gave up trying to sleep at 2.45 am and came through to answer emails and then found myself writing again. It’s been 11 years since I put pen to paper. Book number 6 maybe? Hugs

I hope so. I’m enjoying yours very much. I am pulling another one together, too. I’m going to read a few pages before lying back down.
