Winter Blues
I don't know if my post yesterday set it off or what, but last night I was struck down with a bad case of the Blue Fugues. It sucked. Bad. It was one of those times where I really wanted to cry but I knew that would just give me a stuffed up nose and I wouldn't be able to sleep. And right then, sleeping through it was the best thing I could do.
I woke up this morning feeling a little better, and I have some ideas about what I need to do before I get pulled down into the dark.
A few weeks ago I posted about needing to get things done and I haven't done much of anything on that front. My sewing machine is still in the shop (hopefully out next week) but I desperately need to get the sewing room cleaned up before I start a new project anyway. I offered to take on some sewing for a friend of mine because I know if I am forced to sew something for someone other than myself it'll help get me in gear.
I also need to start cooking more. I've been eating a lot of sandwiches, noodles, and Burrito King lately (gods I love Burrito King). Not only has hindered the Post-Faire weight loss, it's not exactly boosting my energy levels, either. More greens. More fruits. Winter fruits are finally in season and that's good because I love me my pink grapefruit. Speaking of, anyone know a kid in either of the Lawrence Public School bands? They sell amazing grapefruit this time of year.
Finally, my apartment: A mess. I hate living in messiness. It's not dirty (although I could use a vacuum cleaner), but it is kind of sloppy. I don't like living in something less than tidy.
So there, three things, and they're all related to my basic need and desire for domesticity. I'm a picky little house mouse and I should remember that and pay more attention to it. Clean. Cook. Create. Must. Must. Must.
OK.
