Disjointed
That's how I feel at the moment. When I'm at home, I want to talk & chat to people, but when I'm at work (where I could talk to people at least half of the time), I go all quiet and almost into shutdown, except for getting on with the work. I'm not quite sure why I'm doing it (probably a combination of Husband going back to work + cold weather + general January doldrums) but it's affecting me enough that I'm still struggling to get back to writing. At least I *want* to get back to it now - that was the first battle, remembering who my characters are and why I wanted to write their story in the first place...
Like I say, I think it's general January-ick, compounded by my favourite soap's main storyline being the aftermath of a sudden character death, and a chap I knew in the village having died just before Christmas (and I didn't learn of it until the end of the month, which made me feel like a bad friend & neighbour for having holed up in my house for most of December)... There is good stuff, though. I've very nearly learned a new line dance in just 2 sessions - and it's one classed as "advanced" at that! I never thought I'd even attempt an advanced dance! I think it's the number of restarts and placing of the tag ('restart' being when you start the routine again from the top, and 'tag' being an extra set of steps you fit in e.g. when there's an extra chorus in the song), but I'm fairly confident on those as well :-D
Oh, and my venus fly trap is flowering! No, I didn't know they flowered until it started growing its flowerspike a week or so before Christmas!
