I hate my office.

Mind you, I love the people there...I have great co-workers, a good boss...

The company I work for is on the main campus of BNSF Railway. It is a lovely building, with a little lake out back---nice days, one can see 2-3 people catch-and-release fishing. Nice. Nice walking trail too--tons of restaurants around.

The problem is, we have nowhere to escape to during lunch. No cafeteria, no kitchen, no getting away from it all. Either go out to eat, or sit at one's desk. No escape.

Right now, due to my killer diet I am on (12.2 down in 12 days, completely clean eating -- fresh fruits, vegetables, lean meat but mostly on the fish side, no sodas, that's it, and yes I love it once I discovered the joys of potassium) I can't eat out. After months of working through lunches, too, while N was here, I am out of the habit of taking an hour for myself in the middle of the day. Given work is slow, too, well...

I have nowhere to go though. And, I need desperately to escape, hide away, away from people and computers, and...telephone. I can't THINK I need to THINK I need to CONCENTRATE...

I can't eat or drink anything from the restaurants...except ice tea. So, I think tomorrow, I am going to escape to Subway. I can order a big ice tea. The only thing I can eat there is the chicken and the spinach. I can just see ordering just a piece of chicken, and a bowl of spinach, nothing else but ice tea! Then of course pulling out my wine vinegar and spices, and a lemon...lol. Maybe I'll just get the ice tea. At least it is only a few minutes away.

I just need to figure things out. I need to THINK. I know my main character, I know what I want to do with him, I know the villain, I know what he does...but I don't know the STORY.

I need to know the Story!

This is the exact problem I have with Wolfhunter.

I know what the cure is. Pen and Paper and Time. My nature of go go go is getting the best of me, and it must stop.

My house is clean enough, the dogs will survive without me, I need to kill my membership to ihearttvshows. Okay, forget that...

In other news, heard from my dear editor. She seems to be getting better. She wanted to know what I am doing the rest of the year for Loose-Id. So, I told her.
