Had a meeting with my editor this morning. It was a rough one. The other editor is not a fan of mine. The perfectionist editor is not a fan.
The editor I met with said some nice things and told me that the two of us are strong. He said some other nice things, but my self-esteem is a bit weak right now and I heard all the negatives. It cut to the bone.
I couldn't even really defend myself because I couldn't think clearly enough.
Then, D12 and I were preparing to go back to my office and I spilled a full cup of coffee on us both. It landed on one of her favorite t-shirts. I was soaked.
So, we had to drive home.
D12 is really struggling. She hasn't been able to sleep. I think she is deeply grieving are old house and life.
Then, while I was meeting with my editor, D20 took the opportunity to put some pressure on D12 about joining a sport and how much schoolwork she is doing...
I need to reclaim my life here. Things seems to be spinning outta control.
