People

Thinking I'm going to end things with the girl I've been seeing for a few weeks. She's not a very ambitious person and, I don't know, I guess I'd rather use that time to myself/friends or to see someone who has their eyes set on something larger and is willing to work to achieve whatever that may be.

Health

Having a couple health issues checked out today. One could be a major issue. The other's been preventing me from running which is driving me crazy.

Plants and Shit

Working on a farm for a couple hours much later in the day. Trying to keep my tomato plants alive at home through the impending heat waves.

Really the Only Thing That Matters

Oh and I'm seeing Built to Spill later this week, which is my stress release for this week. I've been stress eating a bit lately. Need to throw out some of the junk food I've been eating. Bleh.

I am so inspired by subheadings, bfx, do you mind if I steal yours?

Thinking I'm going to not end things with the person I've been seeing. bfx: if being alone is better than being together, that's all you need to know about that relationship.

Other People

But as delightful as they are, people are distracting. I need to spend some time on the Hard Questions and the Real Work.

Health

Luckily bf has been dragging me out cycling and canoeing. Otherwise I'd never be coaxed out of the burning house of my mind. In fact, I should get off hubski right now and head out into the beautiful day. (PDT, so it's still morning)

Plants and Shit

Still trying to unclutter the pile of work.

Really the Only Thing That Matters

Right now? I don't know. So many things matter: I'm far away from my daughter and mother - both seem well, so that's good. I continue to nudge the ex-spousal-unit into signing the separation agreement please, finally, please!! but he's so unwell that when the vacuum cleaner broke, he fired the cleaning lady. I am 5000 km away, but even so I am attempting to arrange for a vacuum cleaner and a cleaning lady to show up at the same time before he drowns in cat hair.

I wish only one thing really mattered. It would help me focus. I just had an idea. I'll try and make only one thing matter for the next hour and see how that works.

emailining? --- I think you left out a "g" - should be emaligning.

wasoxygen  ·  3069 days ago  ·  link  ·  

More like e-malingering with that one.

See a hand specialist. May be fixable with a single shot, a brace or something simple. If the pain just started, get in and get it fixed before it gets to the point you need surgery. Trust me on this.

Do you practice mindfulness in any organized way Lil?

lil  ·  3065 days ago  ·  link  ·  

no. not even in a disorganized way.

If mindfulness means living in the now, aware and appreciative, maybe I do that anyway.
