muddled and angry: Puddle's third thread

[Puddle]

Hey Heim,

Drat! I just realized you eastern-edge folks are going to be going to bed soon.

Hang in there, Puddle. I wish I worked for a different kind of mag, and one with a larger budget. You're an excellent writer.

Thanks, Heim. I'm thinking I'm going to have to go the technical route to make any money. I hate to do it, but that seems the smart thing to do right now. And I'm going to try to stick to technical editing (as opposed to writing), since that's easier. Maybe I can still do my travel stuff on the side.

Honestly, I don't miss it. It's just the way that I grew up. Your kids WILL BE FINE.

Yeah, they'll be fine, thanks for that. I know they won't miss it, either (at least the little one); it'll just be what they know, which isn't what I wanted for them. I can control a lot of the what-I-wanted-for-them, though, and I'll focus on that.

Your H, in for a HUGE dose of reality at some point.

I'll be interested to see how that plays out. I mostly hope he doesn't have to deal with that, though, since that means the kids will be in a better place. How's your D9 doing at school, by the way? And the little one, has she done any more hiding? I can't imagine what that's like.

Almost made me snarf with your antenae comment. My nose is still a bit sore from the water that almost spewed from it.

I'm so glad to hear it. I trust you'll be okay. And so will I.

Take care.
