Life's Little Ironies

OK, here's some real irony. Ever since Mike and I got together, we have spoken every day. In fact we typically speak several times a day. He has a long commute and does outside sales so we usually talk on his drive to and from work and sometimes during his drive in between sales calls. Then we talk at night before he goes to bed. I keep odd hours and work from home, so to date, it hasn't been a problem to take the time to talk.


Now things have changed a bit and we're finding difficulty adjusting to the new dynamic. I have decided to make a major career change and I'm going to devote my time to writing. As I mentioned in the last post, I'm writing an eBook titled "How to Make a Long-Distance Relationship Work". I'm spending a LOT of time writing and setting up a website to sell the book so my talk time has become limited. Can you see the glaring irony? The time I'm spending writing the book is putting a huge strain on my long-distance relationship.


I know we'll work this out. We always find a way to work through our issues. But in the meantime, I'm feeling quite a bit out-of-sorts. I've never smoked or taken drugs and I don't drink much alcohol so I've never had an addiction to a substance. I think I've come close with caffeine from drinking Diet Pepsi but I'm not sure that counts. At any rate, I can't say I know what withdrawal feels like but I'm imagining it feels something like this. And I don't like it.


I couldn't explain it well to Mike so I doubt I can do much better here. I just had to get it out.
