Has to be one of the best quotes so far, from a series
full of cool quotes.
I’m enjoying it, a lot. Almost makes me wish I wore a tie – I often feel rather drab in my office wear. Perhaps if I put on a rainbow top I’d feel more myself?
Tough times at work. The cavalry, in the form of two new recruits, arrives next week, although I’m aware that it’s going to be hectic for a while longer as they find their feet. At least it feels like there might be an end in sight.
And tonight I drove home in tears. No particular reason, except that I was sad. Some more of those waves, they do creep up on you at the most unlikely times. I dunno, I’m not wearing my heart on my sleeve, I’ve even managed to say the word miscarriage in conversation, and I’ve coped (admirably I feel) with Small telling everyone about his brother Mike who died. (I have no idea whether this is related, or just another of his imaginative interludes – how would I tell?) So why am I so unutterably sad? Why can’t I arrange to go and see my friend and her baby? It isn’t, though you might think so, because I’m jealous of her baby. That would be far too straightforward. It’s because just for a few weeks, I was hopeful of having a baby at a similar time to a friend, at knowing someone through pregnancy, and being able to share tales of broken nights. Instead, she has her baby, and I don’t have a date to look forward to.
Bugger, it hurts.
