You know, I really shouldn’t be left unsupervised for long periods of time; I get into far too much trouble when left to my own devices.
I had my gallbladder removed on Monday, and managed to convince my surgeon to let me go home that same day. (I’m a nurse (LPN) and my roommate’s a nurse (RN) so there really wasn’t any valid reason to keep me overnight. I mean, it wasn’t like I was going to be overdoing things. All I did was sleep all day and all night, and in the brief moments when I wasn’t sleeping I wasn’t exactly conscious and coherent, but anyhow…)
So, I’ve been home since Monday, conscious since Tuesday.
My roommate was home Tuesday (and I still didn’t feel like doing too much) but she went back to work Wednesday, just in time for me to be feeling well enough to see what kind of trouble I could get into.
About half a lifetime ago, I had a lot of pen pals. But then life happened and I kind of drifted away from it, although not without regrets, and part of me wishes I could find the addresses of my old pals and write to them again.
But anyhow…
(You all do see where this is going, don’t you?)
I joined a couple pen pal groups on Face Book.
And then I Googled…
Uh-oh.
I’m trying to be good, really I am.
I mean, writing (novels, not letters) is my first priority, but I miss having pen pals.
And letter writing will give me a break from novel writing, and expose me to new ideas and…
See? Anything can be rationalized and related to writing.
Hey!
I wonder if there’s a group for novel writers looking for pen pals?
*wanders off in search of a cup of tea and the answer to the question*
P.S. Me of the illegible handwriting ordered a fountain pen, too. This should be… interesting.
I miss having pen pals. I had a few a couple years ago, but then we just… stopped writing each other. I have to order more stamps, and then I may just send out a letter or two. ;)
If you do, blame Danielle (D.Morgana). It’s her fault. At least, I’m blaming her.
At least you’re productive if you’re left unsupervised. My friend left me alone at the lunch table, and when he returned, I had a plate full of chocolate covered….well everything ranging from brownies to cookies to fruit.
(…it’s hard to resist a new pen though.)
I don’t know — I could get into that kind of productivity! (Brownies are my favorite (edible) thing in the world.)
And they make a wonderful meal! (…at the time. And then you regret your decision an hour later…)
Well, I’m not a group, but you know a novel writer who just started penpaling with another novel writer. LOL.
That’s why I told Skye to blame you!
*Facepalm* Gee, thanks.
You’re quite welcome!
