Hello, Readers.
In the weeks since her most recent post, Cupcake has thought of you often. But other matters have upstaged you in Cupcake's thinking, so that the pie-chart of Cupcake's mind shows blogging as a very thin slice indeed.
The lion's portion of Cupcakes attention have been to cleaning up and clearing out other areas of her life. She progesses with astounding accomplishment in that endeavor, and shares with you that she's awfully damn proud of herself for what she's managed to tick off her Things To Do list in a short period of time. She is happy, and she knows her life is moving forward. And she is very grateful.
However, all this cleaning up and clearing out takes emotional energy. When Cupcake sits down to type out a blog entry, she feels like an exhausted mother who's promised her children a story, but who nods off over The Cat In The Hat.
So all Cupcake can do is assure you, her readers, that she will be back. But right now she needs (metaphorically speaking) a cup of tea and a hot bath, and perhaps after those (and a short nap?), she will return and give you "quality time."
All she can say is that she believes this blog will be a happier place when she is on the other side of her project.
The job in Lisbon is on hold for the moment. Cupcake's friend who had offered it to her is not in the best of health. For that and other reasons of time, he had to back-burner the initiative. Cupcake is somewhat disappointed but also slightly relieved, as other irons in other fires would have been left unattended in her absence. Still, the sudden prospect of having to leave the country is undoubtedly what set Cupcake moving with the cleaning up and clearing out stuff, and so she's very pleased with the outcome of having to leap out of her stupor and get stuff going to prepare for leaving-- and then to discover that she doesn't have to leave just yet, after all.
All in all, Cupcake is happy. Life has been throwing her some interesting lessons, and though sometimes her papers come back marked with red pen suggestions for improvement, over all she has been applying herself and is pretty sure she'll pass the class.
She may have to give stuff up. But she's aware that it will make room for shiny new things.
And she sends you wonderful, happy thoughts. She pictures your lives being filled with shiny new things, too.
