December 13
I have not been sleeping well for about a week now, and it’s starting to show up in what I have to give to the day. This morning’s run was much harder than it should have been, and it took me hours to recover. I had planned to put up the outside Christmas lights, but…

The exhaustion is palpable. The pharmacy FINALLY filled my prescription, so hopefully I start seeing improvement in the next day or two. In the meantime, I’m spending as much time with my eyes closed as possible.

We were all so looking forward to Universal and it was really a letdown. We were there more than 12 hours and only went on four rides. The lines were SO LONG. And there were so few of them. Almost the entire park is filled with shops. Like I really want to spend $100+ (per…

Robin and Christina stayed after school today for cheer tryouts. Sounded like it went pretty well, although I have my doubts about Christina’s participation since, you know, she takes 10+ dance classes every week. It doesn’t leave a lot of time for cheering at basketball games. But I couldn’t deny her sweet face when she…

Today was an average day. Nothing much special happened. Work was kind of slow, then I made dinner (spaghetti and meatballs), then went to dance, and then home to make more octopuses. And now I think it’s time for bed.

I felt good about work today, which was a nice change from the past week. But I am also exhausted because I keep waking up before sunrise to go running and that is exhausting. But dude. I get to see the sun rise. Watching a sunrise is so much different from a sunset. It’s more…

Today was a holiday where about half the people I know had the day off and the other half didn’t. Full time employees had to work, but our contractor agency was off. Since about half our staff is made up of contractors, it was very quiet at work. The girls had the day off from…

Working on some attitude adjustments today. Seems to be helping a little. I’ve been listening to Coach Bennett’s Podcast and I can’t get enough of it. I’ve lost so much hope in my running, and his podcast is helping me turn my mindset around. I find it inspiring for my day to day life, too.…

Today was a day of tedious, mind-numbing activities like sending 43 emails with QA results to our team, completing 10 trainings (bringing my total to 20 and leaving 12 to go), and tying up a lot of loose ends at work. I did, however, have a great run this morning – a 20-minute easy run…

Something small and big seems to be changing. I feel like I’m losing touch. Things feel disconnected. I am directionless. It’s an unsettling feeling, and I feel like I am coping in strange ways, cracking jokes that aren’t quite funny, making art that isn’t quite beautiful. I know this is all very vague, but that’s…

Repairs on my car are $3,500. Also I have a road trip planned in a week. For some reason, my brain is not processing this, and I don’t know what to do next. So we went to Chili’s.

I made the most amazing alfredo sauce tonight. It is like 496 points on Weight Watchers and worth every ounce I gain as a result. I am sitting in the parking lot at dance and all I can think about is going home and having more of it. Sometimes I amaze even myself.

Christina officially started her new dance season today. She’s already talking about next year and not doing team so she can do other things too. I don’t blame her. She’ll literally be dancing six days a week. But she loves her pre-pointe class, so that’s good.

The wild manic streak I’ve been on for the past nine months seems to be coming to an end. I’ve finished all my projects and have been completely uninspired to start anything new. Most of the time I lie around, unable to think of anything worthwhile to do. I did manage to have lunch with…

It was a pretty quiet day, which was welcome. Christina’s and my new paddleboards arrived today and I officially put in for a day off next week to go out with her. I finished my latest knitting project, which means I officially have nothing in the works at all. I’m even almost done with my…
