Oceanside Pier at Sunset
On Monday I go back to work. The first time in over a year. It will be nice to get back into the workforce, part of the employed ranks. No more working for myself trying to make ends meet. It sounds so wonderful and I am thankful to be able to work again. All that said, I am a little saddened by the fact that I will be losing time spent with the little one. My writing time will be more than cut in half. Then there is that Monday jaunt to the coast to see the ocean. The little one likes that, and I like it. Yes, I’ll even miss that long drive over the Ortega Highway.
In a few months, I’ll move back down to San Diego and life will go back to what it was, minus a few things. Though I can’t help but wonder, what if? And, no I can’t be pragmatic about it, I’m going to miss these things. I will just have to find another way to keep them in my life, the hours with the little one, the writing, and especially those day trips to the ocean.

Mr. Wolf,
I am so happy for you and your new job. I do understand the fears and what ifs with the lost hours of the day, but us dreamers…we don’t work on 24 hours a day. We tick our own clocks along. We make time- somehow. It may be a struggle until you pace your clock, but you will get it all in. Somehow. I love the photo, btw. The west coast is simply beautiful.
Yes, it will be interesting how time works out but I have no doubt that those things most important to me will always be managed in. Thank you, I use to walk the pier everyday at lunch. It is beautiful.
Good luck on Monday Scott! I know what this means to you and I’m so very, very happy for you!
Thank you Julianne, it does mean a lot. 🙂
Motorcycle!!! Seriously ecstatic for you, Brother!
The motorcycle is still up in the air but I’m thinking seriously about it especially with the price of gas. I should be making that decision in the next two weeks or sooner. I miss my old one though…nothing like flying down the road on the edge with Mr. Death, lol!
