Look, a squirrel!

Some days it's just hard to focus. Today is one of those for me.

What I should be doing is writing at least one, if not two, case studies that are due this and next Monday, respectively.

What I have been doing is...random.

Get up
Eat breakfast
Announce to hubby that I will be unable to play until I get my case study(s) done
Make bed
Start a load of laundry
Read a chapter in new beach book 
Weigh myself
Decide to move my body (yes this is directly related to prior item..ahem...)
Move body
Change into warm comfies, ie sweats and fleece
Find recipe for Grandma Alice's Beans and Rice
Text hubby about whether he's going to be anywhere near a grocery store
Move laundry from washer to dryer
Boot up computer, locate case study document in progress, make some edits
Send hubby list of items I need for dinner recipe
Search for some information, get seriously distracted after initial search frustrates me
Spend half hour on some strange journey on the Web popping into compelling headlines
Decide to write a post to document this insanity/procrastination/avoidance
Write post 

My life? Either so complex I can barely manage it, or so simple I'm missing the point some days.

Just sayin'.

It might have been the moon

 The second Super Moon, also a Harvest Moon, just happened. On the same night I had my mini-meltdown. (see prior post). I've talked with several friends who reported intense emotions, mostly around stuff that needs to be released, resolved. When I think about my angst, and how intense it felt, I realize it was all about that kind of stuff. Old stuff, patterns, thinking, habits. So maybe the moon precipitated things. The bubbling up of angst and anger and icky stuff lasted all that night, but had calmed by yesterday morning. Thank gawd, because that was a morass of darkness, the likes of which I haven't experienced in at least a decade. The rest of the weekend has been pleasant. Uneventful. Full of errands, chores, a really nice walk this morning, yummy food, naps, etc. The one thing about energy that feels constant is that no mood lasts forever. Energy continually shifts and morphs, like the Universe knows too much, too long, of any one sentiment just isn't a good idea for ...

It's been a minute

Oh, what a summer it's been! Heat, the likes of which we have never seen seems to be enveloping the planet. They told us this would happen, and it is.  Now what? Is it time to think underground bunkers? To really explore moon colonies? To continue, on an individual basis to do what we feel we can to help the greater effort? We bought a hybrid two years ago. We'll probably buy an electric car once we feel like the infrastructure is in place, but right now, it's not.  We recycle. Glass ( WHO is drinking all of that wine?! I ask myself each time I toss the bottles into the big bin.). Food. We compost all but animal products, and use it in the garden.  Cardboard/cans/plastics go in the recycle bin each Tuesday. My husband thinks the whole recycle thing is a big scam, and that all of the recycling and trash gets taken to the same place - the dump - because there isn't adequate staffing to sort and really carry out the recycle process.  I feel this is a cynical view, but ...

Experiencing system issues

Last night we booked my return flight from Rhode Island. The one I'll be taking once I've situated Daughter in her dorm digs. We used rapid rewards, which tends to take a little longer than other transactions. But still. We were on the phone for almost an hour. An hour! Really? And we had to give them the credit card number 5 times. For one flight and one rental car. I'm just sayin' you guys may be the best bet out there in terms of airline choices, but come on! At least provide fun Hold music if you're going to make people engage for that long. Seriously.
