Chapter 27: Bridging the Boredom

[listersgirl]

I've been in a weird headspace for the last couple of weeks. I keep feeling like I'm doing everything wrong, though I have no actual proof of that. Even so, I spend much of my time flailing around, worrying about things that aren't getting done and feeling like a useless person who really needs someone to look after her. I hate that feeling.

I can't seem to make myself do the dishes or put anything away, so the place is very cluttered, which makes me feel awkward in my own home (I can't settle properly in clutter). Even worse, my desk is covered in crap, and I know there are things in there that I was supposed to deal with, but it feels like such an effort to dig down through the layers of paper. I'm eating terribly, not cooking, I've gained back nearly all the weight I lost over the past year and a half, and I can't make myself go to bed. Even though I'm tired. Probably I'm just sleep-deprived, which would explain why everything seems so overwhelming. I've got to get a grip on myself, though, because in this state of mind I'm likely to never quite get around to looking for a new place to live, which would be...unhelpful.

And I'm having extreme money stress, but yet still spending too much. Which is really not like me -- I'm usually good with money. I think things are just not sinking into my brain properly right now.

Anyway.

On to happy things!

It's biascut's birthday today! Have a fabulous birthday! Er, ::checks clock:: I hope you had a fabulous birthday? Time differences are not my friend.

Also, I stayed home sick yesterday. Go stomach flu. Which wouldn't normally be a happy thing, but I was pretty much better by noon, and I spent the afternoon watching Popular and not feeling guilty about not being at work. Although I do feel slightly guilty about not feeling guilty.

And it's craft fair season. Whee! I went (as in, took the elevator downstairs at lunch) to the Moose Show last week, which only barely counts as a craft fair - it's mostly an artisan show, meaning everything is gorgeous and far too expensive for me. But it was a nice warm-up. This weekend is the fabulous Signatures fair, next weekend is the exclusive Out of Hand fair, and there are many others besides. Jams of the world, watch your back. I'm coming for you.
