crawl toward the light . . .

So, hey! I have survived the start-up of the new job! Which I was not at all sure I was going to!

I don't recall ever having been so completely, bone-crushingly, brain-jellifyingly exhausted as I have been the past two weeks. But my colleagues have been good-humored and helpful and patient with me; by Friday the crush of work began to slow down a bit; this weekend I've only spent an hour or two at the office; and I have gotten sort of, kind of, caught up on LJ (or some sectors thereof), and have gotten my house shovelled out a little bit, and am actually (nervously, hopefully) contemplating actually opening up the WIP at some point this summer and adding a sentence or two, to start tacking down all the scenes that are rushing through my brain in that half-dim state between sleep and waking.

This entry is a marker, a placeholder signalling the intent to actually say something interesting someday, eventually. Something *not* related to my job. Something having, perhaps, to do with the intoxicating fragrance of the linden trees in full bloom, or my brother's Fraser-as-Lancelot theory (he has been working his way through seasons 1 and 2), or the story of the very strange woman waiting for the corner cafe to open at 6:45 a.m. the other morning.

Something. At some point. For now, though, this is just to say that I'm still here, and I defiantly assert that what does not kill me (e.g., the job) will, by GOD, make me stronger. It damn well better.

If you can find it, linden tea is very helpful when you're exhausted.

Congratulations on your brief emergence!

I'm glad to hear that things are easing up a bit and you're finding a way to be comfortable with the new gig.

I look forward to future posts, when you get a chance. And your WIP! Feel free to shoot me the odd section for review and supportive comments if it will help to inspire you.

I'm glad to see you bob to the surface again! And also glad to hear that your colleagues are being collegial, and you're starting to get a handle on the work. Is it getting interesting and exciting yet, or are you still in overwhelming?

Hugs!
