Happy Friday

Or not, as the case may be.... I'm ready for the weekend though. 

My book has been published and some were delivered to me... it's complicated. 

I waited all evening to open them, until I did everything else... avoidance a little bit! Walked the dog, went to Waitrose, had a bath, made something to eat, then finally made myself open one of the five big boxes now adorning my living room. I was a bit scared they wouldn't look right, but I was pleasantly surprised when I managed to unwrap the layers of plastic and take one out. 

I bought some wrapping paper and wrapped two of them to give to friends today. One was like a bunny in the headlights, so I have no idea if she took it or not. Again, it's complicated. It hurt, and I went home feeling funny, which nothing I did seem to relieve those feelings. I think hurt and a little anger, and then I had a little cry on Saturday after a bust up with my dad (long and not worth telling story) but I think I got it out.
