During the summer I had a very serious relationship with Boredom. He and I were going strong…and then September came into the picture and drove us apart. I have not seen Boredom in a couple of weeks, and I miss him.
Now I am dating Lackofsleep while flirting with Anxiety. Hopefully they do not find out about one another.
Basically, I am super busy. I steam milk all day, pretend to know what I am doing in an office full of people who are already BFF’s and in the midst of all that I try to eat at least one meal a day and not whine too much to my friends during the two minutes I actually get to see them. I find myself feeling uncomfortable and awkward all day. I’m in the same town that I have been in for four years, but the dynamics have completely changed.
It’s funny how slight changes can seem so life altering. And while I am stressfully trying to find ways to cut corners (such as brushing my teeth while checking my email) I am also finding that I have been put in a situation where I get to meet new people every day. Strangers I work with have become my closest friends and learning my jobs have become my new hobbies. Being thrown into hundreds of new situations on a daily basis is stressful and hectic and makes me want to scream (if it wasn’t interrupted by a yawn), but it’s also slightly empowering. It gives me hope that no matter how bad things get in life, I will always be strong and innovative enough to find ways to enjoy it.
Now, if I could just figure out a way to get dressed while showering I can shave off another 20 minutes in my day…
Your day reminds me of mine. One thing runs into another, and you lose sight of the “you” time – not good.
I grab the odd few minutes at the weekend to self obsess
Self obsession is such a wonderful thing!!
