running on latkes and sugar
Tuesday, December 15th, 2009 11:29 pmI suspect it's not a good sign (or at least, a sign of overambitious activity level from the weekend) to wake up Monday morning and immediately burst into tears because OMG so tired.
Also, while it was a good weekend, on the whole, and full of good and worthwhile things... it turns out that holiday times are inherently stressful on the recently separated and tend to push particular emotional buttons. Go figure. :-} More on that later, probably, but under a filter.
Thus, last night I blew off everything productive I'd meant to do after 10pm, and went to bed early. (Which means I should have gone on to do about 2.5 hours' worth of work tonight once I got home, but hey.) And, indeed, this morning was better.
But I think I still need a vacation. Preferably one involving hot sun and froofy drinks. :-) I had moderately froofy drinks with dinner and dancing tonight (which was kinda restorative, though not quite the dancefulness we'd all been anticipating somehow). And then I came home and baked cookies. And now it's kinda getting on for bedtime again already.
... Fifth night of Chanukah already tonight. Wow. Chag sameach, y'all.
Also, I keep forgetting to retweet this from almost 2 weeks ago, but: Hey, all you book designers (and print designers generally).
queue's company is looking for people. "Don't necessarily need to have educational book design experience [but] magazine experience or the like might be useful." The relevant entry is friendslocked, but the rest of you can still go ping him to ask about it.

Date: Wednesday, December 16th, 2009 04:53 am (UTC)Some of the weather has been suboptimal for feeling good. And even though i'm dating someone, i've not been seeing her anywhere near enough myself.
At some point, why don't you come down?
