I love it! Whether you make changes or not it’s good to hear about someone else struggling with these questions. Thanks for your honesty. And I agree with everyone. Even though I always want to jump into something, anything new that takes my mind away from the hard place, be still for a bit longer. Sit with it. You’re amazingly creative, smart and talented you will find where you’re supposed to be when the time is right.

Hello, Social worker friend. I for one would love to hear more about the specifics of your job, the options you see, the work you would have to do, the risks you would have to take and what it might all get you. Being a younger social worker who really wants to try very hard to be a crazy old white lady social worker, I am currently fascinated by the auto-career-biographies of older wiser social workers, no matter how burned out ;}

There’s a reason why there are so many alcoholics in cold countries. You need a break from winter! But, if you can’t manage to get to a sandy beach before June, I recommend picking up a new hobby-like hook rugs. No?

Hang in there! It’s almost peep season!!

Your words, my life. This is how I feel every day, and I don’t know what to do about it.

The first thing I thought when I read this is “She’s an out lesbian, I’m sure it hasn’t all been a bed of roses (so to speak)” – although if you add in the blonde that might be another story. You strike me as the sort who likes excitement: witness the toboganning video. It does seem that you long for a change in the career dept., and writing does seem to be a passion of yours. Of course, with kids, you have to worry about such mandane things as, you know, keeping them fed and clothed and maybe a roof over their heads. So, unless you win the lottery, or luisa is able to keep you and the kids in the style to which you have become accustomed, maybe keep your day job for the moment, but never give up on the writing. And there’s always a hair shirt for when you feel the need to “suffer”, although writer’s block, I’ve heard, is quite painful too. Good luck!

Well, Luisa nixed the mini cooper idea. Interestingly, she didn’t say anything about the blonde…
