Except that I have a husband who likes my company so we take days out, sometimes in the countryside, sometimes in shopping malls. I don't intend ever giving up my writing, though, even if only an hours or so at a time.Margaret Mayo Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02191565514869927386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-44611033194513407982016-08-18T06:45:21.805-07:002016-08-18T06:45:21.805-07:00I absolutely agree about the resettling.

I haven't done as much writing as I'd hoped, as well. Grandkids, gardening and my day job have all demanded my willing attention,\.<br />Fall lets me settle (resettle) into a regular routine, and my writing needs routine. <br />Happy new third graders! <br />I have to go and rouse one of two granddaughters, who has an pre-school eye exam this morning.
