Happy Valentine's Day to all you lovers out there.
As I am not a lover, but a fighter, I am celebrating the overbearing pinkness and mushiness of this day by wearing my favorite Friday the 13th shirt, watching Halloween, and revising a story about a serial killer. Because that's what healthy single people do, my friends. That's what they do.
I am adjusting to my unemployed status. The anxiety is ebbing. I've heard from several people I work with and just knowing they're thinking of me has helped tremendously.
Monday and Tuesday were rough. Time I normally spent gearing up and getting ready for the night shift was wasted and by seven o'clock both days I was ready to go to sleep. Those two days felt so long.
I'm getting back into the groove though. I have one employment prospect and the reduction of immediate stress has let my creativity start to flow again. I've started work on a new short story that I hope to finish by week's end, gotten some ideas for revising a couple of stories that I was stuck on, and some new ideas to ponder. I've even made some steps towards getting over my fear of rejection and not being good enough.
It's entirely possible that the light at the end of this tunnel isn't a speeding train.
