May 29, 2013 Awake in Real Time: Coffee-induced Meditations and Journal Entries

I did not write anything for the past five or so days (if you count today, Wednesday, May 29th).

I felt like I was committing a grave sin.  I missed it so much.

And yet, I could not — I had a lot of grading, a lot of housework, some family obligations, and just plain sleep to make up.  I know, I know!  Excuses, excuses!

Still, I really could not do that.  I feel as if I have I’ve been away from my beloved (writing, I mean!), and the separation might continue fitfully until the end of the school year, which cannot come soon enough for me.  I want to be more disciplined in my writing habits, set up a proper schedule, do my music practice again, sing again, take long walks again, hang out with my husband and child for more extended periods of time without feeling I have to do something else which requires my attention, and be an entirely new person, fresh and dewy-eyed and ready to slay metaphorical dragons.

So, I shall return soon, I promise!  This is the longest I have been away from my blog.  I hate it!

I am suffering from major withdrawal symptoms.

See you soon!
