Unfortunately...
...my computer has a nasty habit of going into "power saving mode" and shutting off, erasing my work. In some instances, the re-write was better than the original, but, not always. I've taken steps to save my work on word as I go along. It is especially frustrating to have it happen when you really feel "in the zone" and the creative juices are in full swagger, though, my creative juices are nowhere near the intensity of yours!

My dear mermaid, I totally relate to your frustration!
Don't you just hate when that happens!! As for the work thing, there is a saying I love to try and live by:  If it feels good do it, if it doesn't just let it go.............. blessings my friend and have an excellent weekend

Purple_Mermaid, Isn't it great to love what you do.  I did so many different things in my lifetime and I can't ever remember saying, "I Hate My Job!"   I didn't always like certain things at work or certain people that I worked with, but I always loved what I was doing.  Time and circumstance has a way of making changes in our lives but one should find something to do that they love doing.

Purple
I love how you took a simple theme such as "timed out" and wove a light-hearted yet thought provoking poem.  My favorite line: Busting my cranial adrenalin
