"I took a deep breath and listened to the old bray of my heart. I am. I am. I am. "

I am supposed to be at work in exactly an hour. Which includes my sitting behind my desk, staring aimlessly at the computer, trying to drum up the strength to do actual work. I decided not to put so much pressure on myself to get to work on time, because I could do the same thing at home. And get an extra half hour of sleep in the process.

I really just amaze myself in my time management skills. Seriously. I should totally get a raise.

We had a good weekend. I stayed in my pajamas yesterday until 9pm. I decided it was time to take a shower and then put on fresh PJ's which was basically my husband's t-shirt. This started a complete whining session done soley by him. He was moaning like a school girl about how he never has any clothes to wear because I'm always wearing them. He doesn't seem to realize that I only wear his shirts because it makes me feel really close to him.

Yeah. He didn't buy it either.

Just by accident (or for you romantics... Fate) a fellow J-Lander stopped by my journal. She saw the entry about my book and downloaded a copy right then and there. I had just started reading her journal when I got this email:

I just read the preview of your book, "The Beauty of June" -- It was really great! I just bought the downloadable copy. I can't wait to read the whole thing!

~Martha

I asked her to let me know what she thought when she finished. Instead, she wrote the following entry in her journal:

A New Discovery

I will be honest with all of you and say I cried like a baby. Why it was her email and her entry that did me in and had me doing the ugly cry is beyond me. I think it was at that moment I finally realized that I'm actually following my path and just maybe I won't take any drastic detours. And if it just so happens I do take an unexpected detour, I know this time, it'll be easier to find my way again.

On that note... I need to find my way to the shower and get ready for work. The computer and staring aimlessly at it from the throes of my cubicle is awaiting.

They don't call it work for nothing, you know.
