If I had a remote control for my life, I'd have pressed the pause button recently.
I'd like to hibernate for the winter and wake up when my tulips are up brightening my garden (I went through a bit of a tulip obsession recently - in different areas of my garden I planted vibrant orange ones, barbie pink ones, dark mauve 'queen of the night' and a lovely velvety purple variety.
Now Muttley doesn't need to be watched at all times I've been raining some attention back on my garden. I've only killed a few plants so far but hey i'm a learner and my argument is I like to instill a little survival instinct in my plants if you know what I mean. My gran's gardening advice (my mother tells me this all the time) is that a plant has two choices: live or die. So I don't feel bad about that geranium, calla lily, chrysanthemum, hosta.... you get the idea. ha ha.
So anyway, back to the subject, I've been a little stressed out. Work is not going great, well no to be precise work is going shite. Mutual trust and respect between myself and my employers is about zero. I think it's important to like the people you work for. So I'm looking elsewhere.
*Waves to the bosses if they're reading this*
Ultimately I need to be self employed. Doing the writing. I won't bore you with the details again, because this blog is supposed to be about proving what I can achieve, not talking about what I want to achieve. So, with that, I'm off to write another few words of my novel.

Hello. Just to let you know I had my eyes "zapped" two weeks ago and so far so good :o)
Wow. Well done. I have to say I'm more than a bit jealous but good on you for going for it.
Have you had your eyes done yet?
No I haven't. And I don't plan to in the near future.
Reasons:
1. Still writing my novel = very important to me and means I spend a LOT of time in front of a computer. I'm not willing to give this up for the recovery time at the moment.
2. I have new contacts which are working out okay.
3. I'm saving like mad to fund a house move.
4. And possibly the most important reason: an inner voice tells me I am too much of a perfectionist when it comes to my vision. I would notice any slight blurriness and it would drive me crazy.
