It's like we moved directly from September to February. Absolutely no sign of the winter, the chilled breeze that makes you hug yourself or the benign sky. Will we have it this year at all?
I've stopped walking to the office. Not by design, but just that I can never reach the backgate in time these days. And it's just that I don't feel like starting early. And just that I don't feel like going to the office anymore. It's never happened to me all these years but here it is. So, this time when I say I want to leave my job, I really mean it for the first time.
My husband is obviously baffled by my sudden lack of enthusiasm to work - not so long ago he was admonishing me severely that I take my work too seriously - and I'm not able to articulate the reasons. I guess I like to feel ownership towards what I'm doing and somewhere people don't want to give me that sense of ownership and I lose any feeling of achievement, however small the work may be. Anyway, time to rest for a while, hopefully. I know the kids will be very happy and just thinking of that I smile already.
I'm embarking on 'War and Peace' and I hope to continue and finish it. I love Russian novels by default and I find the characters strangely familiar. And it's like they speak for themselves and the author is merely chronicling them. SK says he doesn't like them because he finds it hard to remember the names but I have absolutely no such problem.
