Melanie's Mostly Writing

I had, by my standards, an incredibly busy weekend. On Friday night I went out for a staff dinner. Saturday we went to see the excellent Project Hail Mary. Sunday we went shopping, had lunch at Burger King, then went to a cafe at a nearby lake, and then went for a walk. It was mostly pine trees there so there was no blossom to see.

When I got home I was overcome with tiredness. My friend from Incheon wanted to come meet me for dinner but I was too tired. I made my apologies. When I lay down I fell asleep for two hours. I awoke to hear my fiance playing guitar. I had been in a deep sleep but I felt less burned out. This morning I was still a bit tired so I bought a sweet milk coffee from Starbucks to perk me up, ready for the day of teaching.

    I didn’t know it, but it seems like I’m a control freak! Perhaps it’s because, like so many women, I’ve been in positions in the past where I’ve had no control over events, and that was immensely frustrating and damaging. I have discovered I hate getting massages. I just can’t surrender to it and relax,…
