Now, we return to your regularly scheduled life

The holiday weekend is just about over.  I needed it.  It was very relaxing.  I did a lot of reading.  I finished  one book, started another.  I finished a writing project I’d been working on for some time now.  Our son and his girlfriend came out to spend the night.  We just sat and talked a lot. It was really nice to spend time with them.  We are still getting to know his girlfriend, even though they have been dating for nearly one and a half years now.  She is a bit like a wounded bird, and doesn’t open up very much.  She and I had a nice chat.

My husband went back to work today.  He worked the holiday, as his job requires someone to be there whether it is a holiday or not.  He should at least see a little extra pay for it.  He didn’t seem to mind.

Tomorrow, I get back to the normal routine as well.  I am so tired of my job that it is hard to feel good about that.  I am hopeful that because it is a short week, it will be relatively quiet.  Tomorrow will likely be very busy, though as it is always that way after a holiday weekend. 

Today, I did decide to sign up for another writing class. I realized that I enjoyed the first class, so I want to take another. I feel as though I am slowly coming back to life a little.  The first writing class helped with that (as has this blog). I am also taking a class with my son! This is a one-day seminar.  He seems to be looking forward to it, and has joked about becoming a mother-son writing team.  I don’t know of any others, so maybe we could be the first of its’ kind!  It is a class on writing a sitcom pilot.  He has wanted to do something like that for  quite a while, so I encouraged him to sign up, and we decided to do it together.  Should be interesting and fun. 

So, back to normal.  I think I need just a little more time.  I am going to go into the bedroom and do a little more reading before going to bed.
