My favourite house is burning...

My favourite house is burning down...

I went to pick up my husband from work, and on the way home, only about five minutes from our exit, traffic got really bad. I could see what I at first thought was dust from the construction in the air (they're building a new on/off ramp to the highway) but as I drew closer I saw that it was actually smoke, and the closer I got, the surer I was that it was my favourite house burning down.

My favourite house is a big old yellow brick victorian house. It used to be a lawyer's office, but everything around it is industrial except for some farm land which is now under construction to build houses or businesses or something. So my favourite house has been on sale for some time (well well well out of my price range, plus the location sucks) and a while ago it got tagged by a bunch of graffiti vandels, which itself was heartbreaking and upsetting. So the place got fenced in by a portable chainlink fence.

And now today, it's burning... I can smell the smoke at my house.

It makes me so sad... it was such a lovely place. Now it will probably be demolished and sold for the land and turned into a parking lot.

This day has just been a rollercoaster of ups and downs... somehow I knew the downs would win :o/

Thanks... At least it's not actually some place I *lived*, just a house I've always admired, but it's sad...

Writing is almost impossible when I'm feeling emotionally low... Since most of what I tend to write is angsty, I need to be in a higher emotional state so I can go to that low, experience it as I write it, if you get what I mean... already being there, I can't summon up the strength to try writing much, and the fluff is definately not around right now... :o/

I've been trying desperately to finish my big fic, Choices, and I've resorted to all kinds of charts and brainstorming to kickstart me on it, but it's not working very well... although a few cups of Hojicha green tea has a wonderfully calming effect, I've discovered...

And then of course, there are wonderful people like you who leave me warm comments that really do help to cheer me up.

So, thank you so much! And, any more fic you'd like to write would be lovely thing too *wink wink*

*Big hug* and cuppa tea to cheer you. It is never fun to see something you are in love with destroyed for no good reason. I hope tomorrow brings happier thoughts and a way to move beyond the sadness. I know what you mean about writing angst, can't do it when already sad...

*Hugs*

Thanks, hon!

The tea has actually done wonders.. I love my Hojicha! though I make it very weak, *shrug* that's how I was first introduced to it...

yes, it is very sad to see the ruination of that house.. tomorrow, as I drive to work, I will see it's smoking remains no doubt...

But, I think perhaps I'm on the upswing again... trying to concentrate on a few more fun things, that give me some anticipation for more fun things... which is always good.

And yeah.. can't write the sad when sad, or I might sink so far down I'll never come up again!!

Thanks, darlin'!

*hugs back*
