Gosh, life sure is hard when I take Monday off and work from home on Wednesday.
:D
No, I still haven’t finished (again) HP6 so I can read HP7, but that’s the least of things on my plate – I have a cycle, and I’m definitely on “social” right now.
I’ve started taking multivitamins again, and I’ve done a reasonable job, over the past few weeks, in paying attention to what I eat. As a fast eater (blame my big mouth, heh), I have to make sure I don’t finish my plate just to avoid wasting food. When I’m willing to make the effort to be healthier, I get some pretty quick results – I just let myself get distracted. In my list of priorities, it is fairly low.
I’m geeked ’cause Chuck’s supposed to be getting me the raw tapes for his roast, so I can finally get something done there.
I may or may not find myself at Tios tonight. I’ve not been to the Tios social night before, so what the heck. I might see netmouse at the same time!
I’ve been having some good discussions with the ConVo folks about everything under the sun, and one in particular has shown me how unusually pragmatic I am about a number of things, but especially about one’s life choices. Similarly, I was talking with rikhei about how I think being an adult means understanding and accepting that sometimes all of your options are painful, and yet a decision still must be made.
Wishing doesn’t make a mystery choice appear where money grows on trees, no one dies, and Everything Works Out In The End. We have no choice but to work with what we have, and make the absolute best of it if we can.
Good luck to those friends of mine that are currently struggling with hard decisions where there is no painless answer. *tight hug*
I can’t remember where I heard this, but there’s a quote: “It’s one big shit sandwich and we’re all gonna have to take a bite.”
I’ve been there. It’s not easy, but sometimes the pain we feel from a difficult decision is just the start of a personal metamorphosis that will, in time, bring us more happiness than we had prior to the painful change. During the decision and life-changes, you can’t see that and feeling those awful feelings is part of the process of change. If one has any kind of understanding of the Zen concept of self-observation even and especially during times of high pain, it is very helpful to employ that technique.
Rough times, for sure, but they can be traversed successfully and it doesn’t mean it is the ruin of anyone unless they allow it. Phoenix rising, baby!
*hug*
Yay, you’ll see me tonight, too.
The tapes are in my pocket!!! < huge smile > Finally!
oddly enough, i’m really good about taking my vitamins during the week, but on the weekend, i “forget”. prolly cuz i sleep in. also, during the work week, i have a “morning ritual” and i guess the vitamin-taking is a part of that ritual.
I still stand by my statement that decisions do not have to cause you pain. Things are going to get better simply because it is my will. And I mean this for everyone, including myself.
:)
Me too!! That is, I have not yet finished HP6 so I can start HP7. Where are you in 6?
I’m about halfway.
I’m home today, too. less working, more cleaning and stuff :)
In Trigun, Vash the Stampede can almost always find a way that doesn’t end up with anyone dead.
Almost.
Mmmmm, anime.
