Today is special, I finally decided to write how I really feel, and to express myself with people that won't judge me or belittle me for wanting to be me. Now when i get off work, I can go have a drink.

First - welcome ami expressing oneself freely for the first time feels soooo liberating doesn't it?
my diary update:
Lots of coughing and antibiotics later, kitty is feeling better! She's started some medication which will stop the gunk from building up in her chest and nose, plus she'll have regular antibiotic courses to stop the flu from getting out of hand again.
Yorkie is re-establishing his authority in the 'hood - the beast of Bodmin is back.
I'm still very busy at work and its gonna get worse! I can't complain though, I do enjoy the work and relatively secure employment is at a premium now.
11pm and I'm just going to get my tea out of the oven!

Just put a homemade apple pie in the oven. When that comes out a smoked spiral Ham will go in. It's a day for cooking and baking...raining and windy outside....
Tomorrow I'm setting up a studio and going shopping to find the biggest streached canvasses I can find...hoping for at least 3'x5'... Ideas have been plaguing me lately and I have to get them on canvas soon or I'll go mad.
Time for a cup of coffee...

I have spent today doing very little. I had an afternoon nap, listened to an old Supertramp album and introduced my kids to 1970's pop culture! My wife has been working on her novel and made a lovely shepherds pie. I am calm and relaxed - life is good today.

From the last couple of posts it sounds like a lot of people are somehow being inspired to explore their creative side. Is Fall/Winter the season to withdraw into your interior? I have been feeling this way and have started a couple of short stories. I decided that since you can't avoid stress you better learn to draw the blinds and pretend you're not at home when you see it coming.

Gregor... I always get an extra creative urge in the Fall... I would paint all the time if I could, but it doesn't carry a consistant income, so I do something else for a living. I've recently decided that I will make the time to paint...as it's what I think I was born to do, and I've been making excuses long enough.

Yes lol!
I've managed to get most working weeks down to around 48 hours - I was doing around 60 and then something inside me just snapped and I said "No more". If I know I'm going to have to work on Saturday, I do fewer hours the rest of the week. It's working, I feel much better and my overall work output hasn't dropped much so everyone's happy!
Yorkie had a recurrence of the cancer but I noticed the tumour whilst it was still very small - another successful removal with relatively minor surgery compared to last time! Halle had to have four teeth removed a few weeks back too seems like the vet has taken half my earnings this year lol! But both cats are doing well and they're worth the cost
I'm at peace with the world and myself for the moment.
