Living with my skin off

[cjsmith]

I've been extra sensitive lately, emotionally speaking -- not necessarily in very painful ways, but more like what happens after you shave your legs for the first time in a while and there's so much more you can feel.

Maybe there's just a lot going on in my life. It seems strange to say that, since if anyone asked what I was up to I'd probably say "nothing". But when I think a bit, it's not nothing; there's the job search, of course, and a whole bunch of things to improve the house, and a big square dance calling gig coming up, and I owe more e-mail to various people than I can shake a stick at. (Hey e-mail, see this stick? Ha! So there!)

Or maybe I should just lay off the caffeine.

When I have one or two big things to concentrate on it's easier for me to "budget" my attention and concerns, but all the little stuff can slip in "under the radar" as it were, and they add up just as surely as the big stuff.

Yes indeed, and sometimes it's harder to figure out why we're busy if nothing's showing on the radar!

Things will have to ease up for me soon, at least on the job hunt. If they don't I'll just go work for the fabric store.
