Little white flowers have popped up all along the borders of the lawn. Marnie tells me they are snowdrops. They're lovely, a harbinger of spring.
I'm halfway through this full-time temp assignment. No, it has not gone quickly. Time drags every day, the week is interminable, the weekend is an eye-blink. It's very unpleasant to work full-time, then spend my weekend doing my "real" work as a writer. It was hard enough when I was young and didn't know better. Now it's just dreadful. Nevertheless, I am halfway through.
Four more weeks of this, including an extended weekend in New York and New Jersey, then a week to myself - then Peru! This law firm would love me to continue working there when I return, but they'll have to offer me better hours. I'll have a bunch of stories to write, and a party to prepare for.

Nice. I have a couple crocuses but they are frozen solid at the moment, poor little buggers.
As for the work, I hear you. I don't think I could go back to a "real" job. For one thing, I'm pretty sure no-one would have me. I used to do some temp work, and after I became a landlord it became rather hard to get jobs. I think people think, that once you are self-employed, you are not going to fit into their little bureaucratic bubbles amy more. (And - shhhh! - they're not wrong! Not that I ever did, really.)
I am off to Spain in just over a week and have not so much as cracked my book of Spanish verbs either, which I had in mind as the minimum.
Anyway, I hope you have a wonderful time in Peru, and I look forward to hearing about it.
Have a great time in Spain, Ferdzy!
