The fuck
It has finally happened and the fuckery has reared it’s oblong shaped head. Everyone fucks up, everyone has an off day and everyone rests comfortably knowing they will indeed make a mistake. It wasn’t a colossal mistake, it wasn’t one that had dire consequences. Nobody was limping off the field or suffering a monumental breakdown. …
Respite
The past few weeks have been constant motion of fast decisions, errands, work and feeling like I’ve been on call with no breaks. So much so, that when every demand met and responsibility taken care of the follow week seemed like it would be a cake walk. How wrong I was. The slower pacer …
