February 19, 2016

Hello, everyone!

I had lots of ideas for my blog along the day but ten minutes ago, I realized that everything had disappeared, just vanished out of my mind. 

Suddenly, my brain decided to take a vacation without asking me if I was okay with that. I must say I am very disappointed, especially because I am looking at this blank page and besides work it seems that I’ve done nothing today.

I remember though that I sent my daughter to buy bread and milk this afternoon and she came back home with oranges and milk. That’s at least half of the order, so it is fine. 

It is not so fine though when after eleven at night you hear that people want to eat, and not a sandwich or a salad or an omelet, but real food that takes time cooking. Anyway, I said no, and that’s it. My brain might be on vacation but I still have enough wits not to start such a project at this hour.

Oh, yes, and I remember that during the morning walk, someone wanted to pat Rex because he is so cute and then the lady realized that he was a real devil and ran away. 

Unfortunately, yes, he is antisocial, paranoid and with a little bipolar thrown in between. Anyway, I have to live with him so it is no use to complain. 

Isn’t it a sad state of affairs when beside work you can’t think of anything that was worth doing?

And to think that even weather hasn’t cooperated today to help me write this blog. Nothing out of the ordinary if it weren’t for the warm mass of air that came after nine in the evening and brought rain and stormy wind. I can’t even go out on the balcony to refresh my memory. I tried, but I got wet in an instant and I considered it was enough. 

Disappointing, I know, but it doesn’t seem a day worth mentioning or remembering. 

Probably, because today I had to write lots of rejections for the submissions we received for the magazine. I hate writing rejections!

However, there’s no way around that. My editorial team refused to do it, so it was just poor me (I know it is not grammatically correct but it does sound better than the grammatical form). 

It will be a long night. A piece of chocolate fell from my desk on the floor and Rex ran away with it. Chocolate is not good for him anyway but at the hour, it is bad, very bad. Suddenly, he has a lot of energy and I am wiped out. Not a good match, isn’t it? 

I told him to go to sleep and he looked at me like I’d have lost my minds. Interesting! Even the dog thinks that my brain took a short vacation. 

I won’t bother you anymore. After all, there’s another day tomorrow and why make you waste your time? Have you ever heard of the writer’s block? It seems I’ve got it and I won’t make anyone pay for it. 

​So, good-bye, and see you tomorrow. Hopefully, my brain will decide to come back to real life.
