SO OVERWHELMED

I cannot manage my own life. TOO MUCH is going on. And it's all good. But why do I do this to myself? Why are all of my friends so interesting and nice? Why do I insist on being so active and doing things? And why must I be entering an introverted phase just right now? I am going to implode.

goddesofmercy said bullet points helped her feel more sane, so I will follow her wise example and see if it helps.

Today
*Leave work in half an hour. Thank god.
*I have canceled helping Ms. Emily move some more in exchange for time alone this afternoon. I feel like I haven't had any in years. A wee problem with that whole living together/working together/being married thing.
*Instead of being a good friend I will go for a long walk in the hot hot heat and buy some groceries for the weekend's events.
*Driving with Adam to San Jose for dinner with eelsalad, the only night our schedules seemed to line up.

Saturday
*Getting picked up by two friends on a wee break from their Peace Corps duties in Kyrgyzstan, driving up to the Russian River for a birthday party. Playing in the sun all day. For a girl as white as me, this in not necessarily a good thing.

Sunday
*Sleeping, feeling guilty about reading the NY Times instead of cleaning.
*Going to a baby/marriage blessing
*If I'm lucky I'll make it to yoga
*Goodbye bowling fun with fictional_emily before she leaves in the morning for Scotland.

Monday
*Either going to yoga with my teacher and/or driving Ms. Emily to the airport.
*Cleaning
*Planning my trip abroad
*Doing laundry
*Wishing there had been time for a real grocery shop over the weekend.


....Nope, the bullet points didn't help. I'm still battling insanity.

A long long walk, a gin n tonic, my feet up... I'm starting to at least feel like smiling again. The video in this great food blog made me smile a lot. If you're a fan of the produce section, check it out....
