Jeez, my sleep cycle is awful and I have to be getting Thistle to school on Monday, when my wake-up time is at 6 30 am. I am worried...I often drop her off and nap in my car for an hour. I am likely going to have a painful week ahead....been getting up with Thistle around seven but tired during the day. I cannot ask CG to help...he works full time and I already demanded so much of his energy this vacation when Thistle and I had the flu.
Still, I have so much time to write now that she is in school, and I remember that some aspects of parenting are a day at a time.
Bill Moyers is retiring, by the way: what a great interviewer! I wish I could be a quarter of what he has been in divining people's hearts and minds.
Grief about m. resurfaced today...why? Yes, it will take time. I still walk forwards, no matter how much it hurts. I am sad to think if he still considers me some crazy person. And yes, some days and nights, it hurts. No stranger to hurt, me: and yet my creative life is still on fire.
I personally know I am strong and quite well in all aspects, but when you hear cruelties from this by a person you were closest to in the world...well, anyone would be hurt by that.
Goodnight.
My name is Joan McMillan and this blog is, as Emily Dickinson says, "my letter to the world." I am currently working on a nonfiction book about the murder of a young woman, Asha Veil, born Joanna Dragunowicz, and her unborn daughter, Anina, on September 9, 2006. My book is meant to honor her life and illuminate the need to create a safer world for women and children.
