I am still spending nearly all my time looking after my son, while he becomes comfortable with a new daycare provider we had to find for him.
And still working to earn my part of the daily bread in the evenings and on weekends (courtesy of my local web consultancy firm).
So my original ambition of finally doing a blog with super-duper-in-depth articles about life, the universe and everything is still shelved. Perhaps forever. And after, like, 20 attempts since 2004 … d’uh.
Carrie is close to going crazy for not being able to get something going with regard to her broken dreams about becoming an artist. But having been out of the practice for almost 20 years, having fried her brain more than once with coke in her younger days and now being caught up in family and dead end job … that gives her a constant feeling of not having time, space or energy to move on this path. Maybe she just has to let go and accept it is over. But then what?
Finished 16 December 2018, and taking place that day as well.
This story I finished in December 2018, but it takes place in 2005. Soundtrack: “She’s Like The Wind” by Patrick Swayze and Wendy Fraser (ah, nostalgia!).
Carrie Sawyer – recovering artist, restless traveler, mum-in-training.
Until there is something new to tell – stay lit.
