I'm alive!

This weekend I will probably make a chewy thinky post about how distressed I am about my increasing disengagement from fandom, but right now it is 10pm so I need to go to sleep in order to wake up at 6am and leave the apartment at 7am! Spending almost eleven hours out of the house every day, most of those at a 'job' that involves a lot of poking people with needles and writing in charts and no internet access whatsoever... well, this is where the disengagement is coming from, but it is also making me too tired to engage my BRAIN when it comes to any leisure task more productive than devouring novels or watching food shows on SBS or firing brief emails at people.

I want my ability to write back, I think my commute has STOLEN IT.

I also want my faith in humanity back; yes, José Saramago, I'm looking at you. I am recovering with Virginia Woolf. This may not have been the most comforting of choices.

...are we actually the same person and no one told me? Wait, no, you're into medicine. OK. Close call there.

Seriously, though, I feel like I've been stalled on everything since commuting stole two hours per day of my life. Not strictly true - I've produced a fic or two in that time, and crawled forward on the novel - but I'm wrestling with the fact that there just never seems to be quality writing time. Sigh.

I am using the train leg of my journey to read books, which is an excellent use of time, but yeah. NOT ideal for productivity. Plus it's getting all muggy and summery and I've been living in the central west for a year, I am not used to even this paltry level of humidity! It fogs my brain up.

I'd say welcome to my life (though add in that I do nothing but read and write all day) but you know that already :/ also the fact that you spend enough time at work when you do have energy and free time together you want to go out and Do Something.
