Quitting the day job

After nearly ten long years, I've crawled out of my basement office and entered the light of day.

I've also entered the work force.

This is a good thing, I think. For example, I'm able to blog for the first time in...I dunno. A while. Also, I've picked up a manuscript I haven't touched in years--and decided to rework it. I now have an hour (and two fifteen minute breaks) free and all to myself, five days a week. Amazing! No children tugging at me, asking for this, that or the other thing. (Adults tugging at me, perhaps, but they are easily turned away with the phrase, "I'm at lunch!") And, if worse comes to worse, there's always the cafeteria to sit in with my pile of paper. Or even, the car.

I'm very excited. Yes, I miss my children (especially the baby, who is still nursing whenever I'm home). But it's great to be a money-earning, productive adult again.

On to my manuscript!
