I’m twitchy

My eyelid is twitchy. I know what it is. It’s stress. It’s happened before, a couple of times. Once upon a time the mere mention of the Frau would start my eye a twitching. She’s long gone from our vicinity, thankfully.
This twitch is because the last three weeks have been crazy stressful. They may start to simmer down a bit now … maybe. If I’m lucky. One more big hurdle and then it should be fairly smooth going for a bit. (Knock on wood or burn something down, whatever fucking works.)

[Foxtrot Foxtrot Sierra] is with my editor.
Now it’s a waiting game and that means it’s not a distraction from this new normal. There’s nothing to throw myself into to get away from this for a minute.

I did accidentally start writing [Echo Mike Papa] a little bit ago, but, I haven’t got the bandwidth to write a first draft at the moment. It’s far too brain power intensive and exhausting.
I’ve created some new notes for Lesson Two in my crime writing class next Saturday. That was enough.

I forgot that it’s just us here in the Wellington Region that have free ambulances.
A bill arrived in Moetapu for Superman’s recent ambulance adventure. It could’ve sat in that letter box for weeks … in fact, it would’ve at there for months, if it was waiting for me to go out there. How would they chase that? The person who needed the ambulance is no longer in the fucking home. Also, why did they send it to him when it should’ve gone to ACC. It was a fucking accident he didn’t knock himself out on purpose.
What’s the story there?
Do I pay it or do I contact them and say ‘fuck off send it to ACC’?
I don’t feel like paying it. I don’t believe they can do shit about it. Good luck finding him, I say. They also asked for a donation. No.
Funds are limited. There will be no donations.
And I’m too tired to appreciate their wonderful work at this point. Into the too hard basket it goes. Had it been Wellington Free – they would’ve gotten a donation because they don’t send a bill. It’s just the way it is. Maybe I’m hardwired that way?

Nothing else to report. Just tiredness and lack of tequila.

  1. I’m not surprised your body is feeling the stress, Cat. You’ve really gone through it lately and you desperately need a break. Some tequila wouldn’t hurt, either. I hope things ease up for you soon.
