Work has been great since January. I’ve been busy and interested and earned enough to pay the bills, but some of the stuff other than the next deadline has fallen off the to-do list and it’s time to get back on. Also, work is a bit quiet at the moment so...

I’m heading back to work today. I’ve had a lovely holiday, but there’s stuff to do and so I’ll sit here in my kitchen and get some work done. As a bonus, it will mean getting paid sometime and that’s got to be good, right? I’m...

Except for my back, which has its ups and downs and is currently on a down. I’m writing this in the laundry, an excellent workplace with great natural light, views of nature and a bench at the right height to work standing up. Also, I think my family may stay...
