I’m not typically one to
complain but this week was just too rough not
to complain. First, I was inundated with an absurd amount of work all with
tight deadlines at the office and just couldn’t find the motivation to do it.
When you’re a writer—suffering from writer’s block is basically equivalent to
being a surgeon with shaky hands. You
can’t get anything done and find
yourself staring at the monitor or, as in my case, a blank piece of paper (side
note, I’ll take a pen and paper to a keyboard any day) for hours and realize you just wasted the whole work day and got nothing done.
After meeting with my boss and telling him I was experiencing some wicked
writer’s block he suggested I write a letter to someone who I had a lot to say
to to get my writing juices flowing. Naturally I thought of my on-off-on-off
again [ex] beau sooo I got to writing. WELL dear boss, this only resurfaced a
whole heap of emotions that led to a sleepless night and even more distractions in my head. Thanks for
that advice. NOT. Then to top it all
off I spent Tuesday and Wednesday home sick with a kidney infection from
h-e-double hockey sticks that basically made me bed ridden with such awful
abdominal and back pain. And for those of you reading this thinking “gosh,
Cristi is always sick” well, the
doctor finally took note of that too and has put me on a steroid regimen,
whiiiiich I’m pretty sure is making me crazy. So, recap: can’t write therefore
can’t work, bitter feelings resurfacing towards my ex, killer kidneys and roid
rage. Awesome week, right?
Well, before we start the
Cristi pity party let me tell you…it DOES get better. This weekend I’ll be
kickin' up my boots and setting out to San Angelo, TX with some of my best girlfriends for a
weekend full of beer, boots and bulls. That’s right—we’re heading to the San Angelo rodeo.
Needless to say, I am soooo looking
forward to this getaway and a girls weekend! I have the BEST friends in the
world and I know 5 minutes into this trip, I’ll be forgetting all about the
woes of this week.
