Real Life or What Passes for It  
I had hoped to have the Coda finished before I went on vacation, but Life has been a female dog in heat and... it isn't going to happen.

I will be away from any sort of internet access from Saturday the 10th to Saturday the 17th. I am going to rusticate and vegetate. I need a break from Real Life and an old friend has offered an apple tree and an old horse blanket for daytime and a four poster bed overlooking a pasture for nightime. I grabbed it because it sounded better than the insane asylum. May bring back photos of dogwood and daffodils.

I don't much talk about my life, finding Torchwood so much more interesting. Suffice it to say I need to take some time off to come to grips with life, the future, and everything. There are times when the difference between "want" and "is" can be so overwhelming that you either fall apart or start using very unhealthy coping mechanisms. I'm borderline here and need to stop and reflect.

See you soon. I will be writing, since I am taking both pencil and paper and the netbook, so... the Coda, the end of Adaptation, and the beginning of some other stuff coming up.

*hugs* I hope you get the peace & rejuvenation you're looking for. I completely understand the need... I did it myself not that long ago.

Enjoy your trip.

Relax and have fun ... netbooks rock (thought I had to buy a roll up USB keyboard for mine but that sort of rocks too!)

Enjoy yourself ... though the insane asylum might breed bunnies.

Perhaps we can get a group rate ...

Sounds like a much needed break. May it keep away the gates of the loony bin.

From someone also too close to the asylum state I wish you rest, relaxation and a good recharge from your get away time. Maybe I can pick up some of your calm vibes and benefit too, or I'll just be a bit wistful till I can get a real break.

Enjoy!

Oh that sounds like a lovely week and nice to have such a good friend. I want to thank you for creating the lovely world that you have done so with your AU first season. I want to go live there, so I can totally relate to how you feel. Anyhow you have my email address if you ever need it.
