<\/p>\nSo, I’m still in a funk a bit, but I’m taking steps to make peace with that.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0 There are a few things in my life that are a little out of control right now that just have to stay out of control for the time being, and I just realize that as a control freak, this will drive me a little nuts, and that’s ok.\u00a0 There is an end.\u00a0 There is a resolution.\u00a0 I just need patience.<\/p>\n
2.\u00a0 There are a few things in my life that have not been put on a schedule and harnessed and planned like I like to do.\u00a0 I can make this change.\u00a0 For example, I need to start doing our monthly budget again, I’ve started it and just waiting for the month to end to get some data to work with.\u00a0 Before – with just my salary and unemployment it was just too depressing.\u00a0 Now, with Zliten only UNDERemployed it’s moderately less depressing!\u00a0 Yes, I like my control freakiness with a side of avoidant behavior.\u00a0 This will help me figure out things like whether it is possible to do something cool for my birthday AND redo the kitchen windows this year.\u00a0 I would like to thank our previous owners for making ALL the windows in the house CUSTOM SIZES. *shakes fist (full of money)*<\/p>\n
3.\u00a0 This is typical end-of-winter blues for me.\u00a0 I am never in a particularly great and happy state around now.\u00a0 Once we get past the possibility of hard freezes and icky weather (like the rest of this week and weekend), I should be a much happier camper.<\/p>\n
4.\u00a0 It’s also the end of half marathon training.\u00a0 I am at the point where I just want to run the race and do something new and different.\u00a0 Less than last time where I was going nutzo about now, but there is definitely the defiant little Quix-in-my-head going “I WANNA RUN WHEN I WANNA RUN, WAH.”\u00a0 I can only take the same rigid schedule for so long before I ‘splode, even if it’s self imposed.\u00a0 And a different rigid schedule?\u00a0 Like butter to me.\u00a0 I love.\u00a0 I just need different and freaky every so often.<\/p>\n
I think a majority of the things kinda bugging me will resolve themselves mid-February.\u00a0 And that’s not too far away.\u00a0 And if not, I can busy myself making mountains of spreadsheets and unbooked vacation itineraries and dreaming of winning the lotto.\u00a0 Hey, it could happen.<\/p>\n
