It's Over

Last night my husband woke me up and gave me a kiss. It was a bit after midnight when he came into the bedroom. He didn't want to "get it on." He came in to tell me that he had just received confirmation that he got his Master's!! Not only did he get his Master's but he received a distinction! I'm happy as can be and it just feels like something has shifted in our lives. I'm just happy it is over.
I've been doing a lot of writing lately. The type that is satisfying and makes me feel as if I'm moving forward. It isn't that I dislike the writing I do at work, it's just that I need to do more. I think that I have a sense of running out of time that drives me. I worry that I'm going to lose my mind like my father and end up having left nothing in the world. My writing may not be a great novel (YET), but it can't be totally taken out of the world. This is a true statement and one that gives me some sort of feeling of relief. I'm thirsty, but I don't know if I can sneak across the street and get a Diet Coke from McDonald's. I don't know what it is about the soda there, but it is my favorite. I need to quit drinking it, but next year. I think.
Oh, well. I need to get back to work. I've got my timer out and I'll do 15 minutes of everything. This is how I'll break my day down.
