Listening to my body...
Today's to-do list included a lengthy grocery list for this evening after work (lengthy because I'm going to make a white chicken chili this week, as well as a variant of moussaka), but...tonight is not going to be the night. I'm just worn out. Although I've been following the crisis in Japan since it happened, today was the first day that it really sank into my emotions, this thanks to a YouTube posted on FB by a high school classmate who lives there (Tokyo, then evacuated to Kyoto) and is about to flee to Hong Kong. It's a lengthy montage of disaster footage with the Barber Adagio for Strings in the background (quite possibly the most intensely emotional music I know). It took about one minute of watching it at lunch before the tears welled up and I had to stop and forward it to my home e-mail so as not to disrupt the quiet of the cube farm by bursting into tears. Once those emotions came up for me, I felt wiped out for the rest of the day (time change issues surely aren't helping). Decided to listen to my body and not try a lengthy grocery shopping expedition tonight. I'm actually rather proud of myself for *not* pushing it. Time was when I would have just plodded through and been even more worse for wear the next day.
ETA: I have GOT to start posting more regularly. I hate that I've fallen away from here so badly.
