Got a text from W this morning which I had to read twice:
Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear P. Happy Birthday to you. Hope you have a fab day. W.
Now this is a stock text she sends when it's people's birthdays (she just edits the name, and in my case removed the kiss at the end), but I just thought WTF? Then, that was actually quite nice of her. To then, why did she send it? And then, doesn't matter, it is what it is. It was a nice gesture. She didn't have to do it.
I didn't reply to the text yet because a) I'm in NC and b) I'm far too busy doing birthday boy things to be replying of course.
I will reply tomorrow - she made the effort, I'll just reply 'Thanks for the happy birthday. Had a fantastic day!'
I spoke to my IC on Tuesday and, as usual, had a few days to chew over everything.
One thing we both agreed on is that I write not just scripts, or books about things that happen (such as the text on W's Facebook page about her being 'in the process of a divorce' and the couple of million reasons why) but actually complete novels
So my goal for the next while (no timeline on it) is to not write novels, or books. I would like to also say scripts too, but I want to make the goal achievable so I'm going to see how far I get with novels and books. I think I did a fair job with her text today. It confused me, put me off balance, worried me and then I thought, P it's actually only an effing text, it is what it is - a nice gesture. Or as my friend says 'a text to mess with your head' ... I don't think it's that, and if it is it's fell far off the mark.
Feeling good today. I'm actually off for a weekend away ... funnily enough to the island where OM came from LOL. I have friends over there and my mate's birthday was Monday so we traditionally spend the closest weekend together, watch some movies, drink some fine Scottish Malt Whisky (my BIL actually works for a distillery .... I have a 16 year old bottle of Scapa) and talk like mates who've known each other for 24 years do. We talk ... rubbish
See you all back here on Tuesday!
