Who knows?<br /><br />There are friends I have had to quit seeing because of their negativity or craziness. Sometimes you have to protect yourself. :)Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14175778756449339363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6105870530641515642.post-25379979305375481122011-08-17T22:43:39.301-05:002011-08-17T22:43:39.301-05:00David- I wish I could escape this heat!

I've always wanted to know what it feels like to take three months off, and just write and not worry about yucky things like, money. haha Maybe one day soon!!! :)<br /><br />YRJ- I'm glad you know what I'm talking about.

I love my friends, but some of can be energy vampires, and in the interest of self-preservation, sometimes it's necessary to unplug from them for a little while. It's healthy for me, and also for the friendship.Jennifer Hillierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15783975547643539868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6105870530641515642.post-7340598789090297972011-08-17T11:59:34.727-05:002011-08-17T11:59:34.727-05:00I hear you on the "impending doom" thing...I hear you on the "impending doom" thing... things are going so well with Chef M I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop - so to speak.<br /><br />How come I can't just let myself be happy and enjoy the ride??<br /><br />xoJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09192180616942615971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6105870530641515642.post-58377725562745775362011-08-17T11:37:58.497-05:002011-08-17T11:37:58.497-05:00I don't think it's that weird to think abo...I don't think it's that weird to think about what might go wrong when things are going right for a while. But I do try not to be too negative in that way because I have realized that I tend to ruin the good time with my worrying and it doesn't change anything. I think it's just a habit from a time in my life when the good just never lasted and I had to be prepared for the bad.<'Yellow Rose' Jasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12496382898548158316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6105870530641515642.post-42645693296274587652011-08-17T08:51:18.402-05:002011-08-17T08:51:18.402-05:00I'm so with you on the friends thing.

Came to the same conclusions, eventually, as yourself.<br /><br />And, yes, I envy my teacher friends who get 3 months off during the summer. As a writer, that would be perfect writing time for me. Hmmm, maybe I should think about changing my day job . . . :)<br /><br />Good luck with the exercise in that atrocious Texan heat.
