holzman_tweedToday I became a paid user. Cool beans.
I've felt lethargic lately, which is odd, given the amount of energy I've been spending. Maybe I'm just tired instead. Jade's suggested I might be lightly, acutely depressed, and I can't rule that out, either. OTOH, she seems to have been fighting some sort of low-grade cold for a few weeks, so maybe I've been fighting it as well, but it's been even less apparent except for my energy levels.
They flipped the switch last night, and now we have spring time weather, though someone's supposed to spill coffee on the console soon and return us to winter. We went for a walk last night, and I got to pick up some interesting-looking games, but I know I'm not looking forward to it being cold again.
I also seem beset with a passel of hassle. (Which reminds me that Antioch's main building was nicknames "Hassle Castle.") I've got phone-in jury duty this Friday. Meaning I may have actual jury duty next week, or sometime after. My car has a number of annoying, but time-consuming-to-fix problems that I really need to take care of. I hate giving up a Saturday to that, though. I actually mind spending the money less than losing the time. It's shaping up to be a relatively "blah" year at work, but I can't go into the details of that here. I can say that I'm getting tired of having to explain to people that we're not going to make exceptions to global security policies for their personal convenience, no matter how much money they dropped on an ill-considered piece of software.
The large scale background of watching World War III shape up as the U.S. slides into fascism and decline doesn't make for much of an improvement, either. I look around amazed at people who think that military "victory" justifies the war, or that the rights people are falling all over themselves to give up in the name of safety they'll never have will come back. And has anyone noticed that the economy is still in the shitter?
I didn't know when I started writing this that I'd be core-dumping like this, but I suppose it's what I need. On the short term it seems to help. We'll see about on the long term. That, and some tea, I think.
And home. One thing I can always count on is that when I get home and am spending time with Jade, my mood improves drasticly, even if I'm still low energy.

Date: 2003-04-16 01:47 pm (UTC)For me, being tired creates a sort of quiet in my mind, and that may be just what you need right now, some quiet and space to sort yourself out. Perhaps an extended period of vegging out in front of a game will help whatever's in the back of your mind cook itself to doneness.
It's nice to see you writing so much.
