It's sinking in

[cjsmith]

It's Monday and I'm not at work. I'm overwhelmed with job-related suggestions and ideas, for which I heartily thank you all! It's sinking in that I'm really on the next step now.

Emotionally, the next step seems to be the grumpies.

This morning I had my annual doctor's appointment in which nothing gets done and I pay $430 for the privilege. I'm also currently under a wave of foot-related grumpy, probably because last time I was off work I could run. I'm relearning how to eat right (my usual pattern is to snack on junk all day) when I don't have friends coming by my desk reminding me it's lunchtime. But have I invited anyone to lunch? No, I've just sat here. I haven't even responded (yet) to one friend's invitation to drop by her house.

I'm hermiting.

Worse, I'm ignoring stuff. Under the guise of taking a break, I'm doing nothing at all. I didn't go swim this morning, and I could easily have. I haven't tried to find new special shoes now that the ones I'm wearing are falling apart. Ditto jeans. With all this free time I've put nothing in the crock pot, and I've baked no cookies or pies. I haven't touched the shirt I started sewing last time I was out of work.

I know that though this is minor, it will grow and feed on itself if ungoverned. Activity, that's what I need. A good long run would...

...dammit.

Okay, maybe a load of dishes.

Mmm, sloth.

So have dinner with me some night! If you put on the pasta water, I'll cook. :)

I dibs Wednesday, as my Thursday-Friday are up in the air at the moment.

Ooo... there's a meeting I was thinking of going to Wednesday night. If your Thursday or Friday open up, can I get on the waiting list for one of those? And if that doesn't work out, Wednesday it is.

*sticks a reminder in LifeBalance* I think I can manage that. :)
