...after the horse has been stolen: that's what I'm doing now. The morning has flown by in a kind of daze, writing, making calls, writing, making calls.
But at least I'm doing something.
Not sure it will do any good at all, but then I'm not sure it won't.
It's no fun. Painful, in fact. I'm afraid if I survive the next couple of weeks, I'll be swigging Maalox, drinking milk and eating soft, bland foods. Stress messes up your body big-time, Jim.
What makes it worse -- at least for the rest of today -- is that the story I'm writing now is for a client who has treated me shabbily. That makes doing a good job difficult.
I really, really want to quit the desk and go for a walk. It's beautiful here today, cool, crisp and sunny.
Instead, I need to get back to work.
Go for that walk Scrib. Even if it is only for 10 minutes, it will clear your head. Wish it was cold here in Sydney. Is hot and humid. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteStress is a trouble maker.
ReplyDeleteHang in their Scribbie.

Jim, you need to get Scribbs back on here. We miss him.
ReplyDeleteDearest Scribbie,
ReplyDeleteWE miss you. Have you flown the coop? Trapped under something heavy? Decided to give up the desk? Praying to the porcelain God from those rotten eggs?
Give a shout out to your friends, Paleeeeezzzzz...... One or two lines would make us all very happy.
Scribbs, we are really worried here. What's going on? I bet there's a ton of PMs at JS.
ReplyDeleteIt ain't easy being the Scribmeister.
ReplyDeleteSincerely
Jim
