I recently lost my main job - as in it (and an organisation) suddenly ceased to exist. Luckily I have managed to pick up various bits of work and I have found myself busier than I've been for a while.
While delighted to be able to continue to earn my crust, the new regime has rearranged my lovelife and blogging opportunities, hence more silences here.
I have to remind myself that I'm lucky to have the opportunities I do, to see my lover, but - like most of us - I do tend to take things for granted and feel disappointed when life interferes with our opportunities to be together. Last week we only saw each other twice and our time together was limited by my sleepiness (following night-shift) his health, me having a cold, his painkillers, me working a 13-hour day and family duties (both of us). Never-the-less there is something very special about gently dozing together. And we still manage to light each other's fires as well as enjoy simply being together.
