Snowed-in blues
Apparently I don't write when I'm feeling blue. I actually wanted to update Sunday, but because of the snowstorm (I guess) I lost Internet access for most of the afternoon and evening. And all I wanted to do was be online. I felt really cut off from the world. Even though I know that the feeling of connection through the Net is mainly illusory.
Yesterday, Monday, I had off from work for President's day. Over the weekend, from Friday to Monday, I think we must have gotten between 15 and 18 inches of snow (based on what I've heard). We went to a Level 2 snow emergency: don't go out unless you have to. I didn't.
I would have liked to get lots of housecleaning done, make good use of the long weekend. I have a three bedroom townhouse with a basement. Two bedrooms and still half of the basement are a messy wreck. I don't like living here, and I'd like to be able to move if I perchance found a nice place. I don't feel like I can do that if the house isn't straight. Besides, I have too much stuff. I want to figure out what I can get rid of, and what I can keep.
I did a little straightening yesterday, but I just didn't have the energy. As the day wore on I found myself becoming more fidgety and nervous. I finally decided that I was nervous about the training I'll be giving this Friday. Even more than the training itself, I was nervous about the upcoming rehearsal for the training with the training coordinator, who has given this training a dozen or more times. This is my first time. Yeah, I was intimidated.
The rehearsal today went really well. My overheads were fine. He gave me some pointers and said what I was planning to say was just fine. I feel much, much better.
