Haven't blogged for a while. Much to celebrate. And a lot to fear.
I'm home today. I canceled my classes. I had a horrible night, and bad stomach cramps. It's probably all stress related. Financial matters are starting to come to the fore again and I'm really getting scared unless something happens, and soon.
But yet things are great around the house, starting with my main school looking to hire a full-time prof, and they gave me advance notice (see my last blog about it). Then, the one publisher is willing to negotiate on my contract. Then Friday I had a great session with my shrink. When that was over I went to the historical society to do photographic research for a small pictorial history. I had an idea as to what I wanted to do, and while going through the materials EVERYTHING came rushing back to me - a topic, my drive and initiative, old memories of my relationship with my wife, you name it. I will have the proposal ready within two weeks and they're going to rush it through. If all goes well I might have 2 books out this year.
But what matters more than anything is that I felt like my old self again. I went home in an ecstatic mood, and it sure carried over into the house. I still have to make some amends, but I do believe I'm recapturing my prior spirit.
