Last Week’s WW: The Writer’s Roller Coaster
A few weeks ago I wrote about how it’s important to create a schedule for yourself. About how self-imposed deadlines can help you create, and stop you from procrastinating. I still believe all of this to be true. But, those plans don’t always work out.

Last Week’s MM: Booktrack and Halfway Home
Okay, so this post might be a bit narcissistic.
But, yesterday was my birthday. I turned the big 3-0. Never again will I be in my twenties. More and more lately, I’ve been thinking about the future. Which is frustrating, because I see this amazing life that I want, and just have no idea how to get it. I’m trying the best that I can, but progress is slow, and I’m impatient. There are a few things I know for certain that I want, and others I’ve just got no idea. Also, it’s difficult for me to express my feelings due to the anxiety. But, now I’m just complaining and may end up depressing myself, so I’ll move on. Continue reading

So, I suppose it’s the end of the month. Maybe I should be doing updates for May? But I don’t really know what’s in store for next month. I suppose, in a lot of ways, I live my life day to day. A lot of the time I think it’d be better if I could plan for the future a bit more. But, I guess there’s something to be said for living in the moment. Right?

My bus was late today, making me miss my transfer. Luckily, there was one not long after. Thank goodness for smart phones or I’d never find my way.
Happy hour. I guess this is a natural part of working in an office. Everyone gets wound up, frustrated, depressed from sitting in a box all day. Occasionally, you have to let it all out. For some reason, despite spending forty hours a week in close proximity to the same people, they want to spend a few hours more. Continue reading

I didn’t bus blog this morning because I didn’t take the bus. Either my alarm didn’t go off this morning, or I slept through it. I’m not discounting the possibility that I woke up and turned it off, probably on accident instead of hitting snooze, but I have no memory of this.
So, waking up late, and still exhausted from rock climbing after work yesterday, I sprang to, instantly realizing that I was late. I’ve had some trouble getting to work on time this week. Tuesday I took the wrong bus, yesterday, my boyfriend took the wrong bus (see, it can happen to anyone!) so I had to go get him on my lunch, then we ate, making my 1/2 lunch an hour, and today, late again. My guy had to get up early and take me because he needed the car today. Continue reading

On my way to the bus stop today, completely ignorant of the time and assuming that I was running late, I was just in sight of the bus stop as I saw it pull up. Fearing that I would miss it, I broke into a run. He waited, though not for me, for someone else he saw running. This made me feel less badly when I instantly realized that I was on the wrong bus. This one was half the size of the one I normally took. Looking around, knowing the truth, there was nothing I could but ask the bus driver “I’m on the wrong bus, aren’t I?” Continue reading

Made it to the bus this morning with no time to spare. Literally, it pulled up as I walked up. Cutting it close.
Everyone loves Friday’s. But in some ways I think Friday’s are the worst. They are the culmination of a long week. The fifth day in a row if waking up too early and devoting so much of my precious time, both slightly against my will. Continue reading

I never thought that my first blog would be posted from the bus, but here it is. This is the first time I’ve ridden the bus on my own, and one of only a handful of times in my adult life. However, I fear that this may become a regular thing.
I’d love to tell you that I’m living the dream. That I’ve got it all figured out and get paid unthinkable sums of money for my craft. But that’s not truth. Continue reading
