Lisa at Grandma's Briefs talks today about how the pressures of life sometimes come to be represented by a brace of numbers. She ends each post with a question, and today's is this: What numbers are currently causing you distress -- or elation?
I realized that numbers do express both my anxieties and my joys right now.
12.5...weeks until I retire.
20...hours a week I work until then.
40...hours a week I spend doing daycare for the grands
3...major work projects I'm trying to finish
2...beautiful kids who bring me inestimable joy
6:45...the hour they arrive each morning
0...blog posts since a week ago.
and last but not least,
25...years with Peter; our anniversary comes up soon

I feel so fortunate that they don't come that early (o:
Like your number expression.
You've got some good numbers there, except for maybe the 6:45 a.m. thing. That 12.5 weeks will fly by. I am a little envious of that one, but I am getting there...toward the decision at least.
When you break it down that way you knock the wind out of the monster at the door.
That was a metaphor nightmare.
Please don't let this be a reflection of your writing. Thank you for putting some perspective back into life, MINE!
sorry for the delete.

*so glad to hear you got the parcel. I hope winter holds off and you can wait a little longer to try out your new scarf.* :o)
I've also been tagged by Jenn so thought I'd stop by to say hello. Nice to have met you, I've enjoyed visiting.
It's cool how a story emerges from numbers like this. Big congratulations on 25 years. I hope you have an amazing celebration planned.
