Slacking?

    Have I been a slacker for not posting more on this blog?  Maybe. Or maybe I just haven't been able to quiet my mind long enough to sit down and write a coherent, meaningful blog post. I'd say it's mostly a noisy mind. 

    There have been many topics I could blog about lately. Taxes. I did mine online this year.  Raises.  I'm getting a raise at work for completing a certification course.  Diet and exercise.  I've been trying to follow a plan each day. I'm about 70% to 80% successful. I've lost a few pounds nonetheless. 

    I'm trying to sign up with a new healthcare provider. It's been a week since I turned in the new patient paperwork and I haven't heard a peep from them.  With this kind of customer service I won't feel a bit guilty when I don't follow any of the new nurse practitioner's instructions.

    So there you have it - a summation of what's happening in my life these days. I'm off now to suffer a headache I've had all day. Maybe sleep will get rid of it.

Waiting and Waiting

    Friday I received a work email right at quitting time. I couldn't answer it. It's been hanging over me all weekend. I hate that I can't do anything about it until tomorrow morning. I had said on Friday that I wouldn't be able to do anything this weekend because the email was at the top of my Things to Do list.

    So I haven't really done anything this weekend. I did the chores that had to be done. And I've killed some time knitting and playing games on my phone and ipad. I've watched some TV.  Did I take the diet and exercise plan seriously this weekend?  No. 

    I'm feeling quite depressed or anxious or something. Magenta, Blanche Devereaux of the Golden Girls would say. I can't wait to respond to that email. I can't wait until this coming weekend. I have a 4-day weekend coming up. I think I need the break from work. Maybe next weekend I won't be feeling magenta. 

    Unfortunately, I'll have to wait for it.

Cold, Tired, Restless

    I've been tired all week. I haven't been falling asleep quickly enough at night. Then, I've been dreaming which also makes me tired.  And, Cookie the cat has been waking me up every couple of hours so I can put her on the counter for her to eat three little pieces of food.

    I've also been cold all week. It's cold outside and I haven't been able to get the house warmed up. I worked from home today and my feet were blocks of ice all day.  I hate winter.

    As for restless, I'm that too. I know I should go to bed right now and I want to, but I also want to not go to bed. Not so much wanting to stay up, just wanting to avoid going to bed. Maybe it's avoidance because I know Cookie will be waking me up all night.
