30 Minutes in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)

Hi. I’m practicing for NoJoMo, so now’s a good time to write an entry. I have a conference call that I need to prep for so I will come to a hard stop in 1/2 hour if not earlier. I don’t know how some people write these brilliant entries in 15 minutes or less. I wonder if it’s something that is all about practice making perfect (is it, writers?).

It was such a gorgeous night last night and I got home as the sun was about to start setting. I thought that it would be so awesome to get some spring rolls from the Thai place a couple blocks away and then swing by the likker store on the same block and get a bottle of bubbly and have din-din on the roof.

It was all I could do to walk the few block, get take-out, get booze (stressful every time with the very vocal loiterers…that place can be a tiny bit scaaaarrryy), and get into my place. I never made it to the roof.

Ate standing up in the kitchen, drank two sips of bubbles and then felt like shit, so I went to bed.

Slept like the dead and now here I am! I’m not sure where my energy goes lately. I think it has to do with some of these things:

  • Work’s gotten stale and I’m not very happy to be here right now
  • Bracing myself for what happens when SP’s son comes to live with him (unnecessary worry, as it is inevitable)
  • Consciously blowing off Best Bud and feeling guilty about it
  • No real workout schedule
  • Crappy eating habits lately

    I’m not happy. But the thing is, I’m not unhappy either. I just am.

    I think I need to plan a vacation. Another diarist mentioned having a girls trip, and that might do me some good. I know I can’t plan anything with SP right now because of his son. Although he is working on a project in Hawaii and his boss wants him to go one week per month. We had discussed me coming out for one of those weeks, however, SP hasn’t planned anything because he just doesn’t know when his kid will be released. But he believes it is soon. Not sure how he’s going to work out going to Hawaii one week/month if he has a special needs kid who needs round-the-clock care. But again, not my issue.

    Looks like I just need to plan on fending for myself. Weird. When I write this out, I feel a twinge.

    I’m sure there will be more on this later. My 30 minutes are up.

    Love!!
