thought of the day
For the record, I'm trying to post more; I've got a lot on my mind recently, and I've got a journal for a reason. I'm also trying to reply to comments more, which is something I'm bad at - I mostly reply via phone-Gmail*, at work, and it can be hard to keep up with. But anyway, I'm trying to post more consistently. For fun. And profit

It has been really funny reading some of the responses I've gotten to this (also over private emails) because -- I never before would have pegged myself as "Type A"; I always think of myself as a pretty easy-going, non-ambitious person. I work with some Type As and I am always like, I am not that! But I think in a lot of ways I'm also fooling myself: look at the way I've spent the last 5 years. I can't stop, I don't know how, and I'm pretty sure that has 'Type A' written all over it no matter how much I want to deny it. If nothing else this post has given me some good food for thought (also Salarta's comment above).
I loved yoga when I went; I really should get back to it. Speaking of "scheduled relaxation." One thing I tried this weekend that worked out was making a to-do list with three different levels: one being chores or things that were productive (laundry, cleaning, cooking, etc), one being fun hobby stuff that was still work-ish (writing fanfic; knitting), and one being stuff like "lie on the floor." Now obviously I didn't write "lie on the floor" and then cross it out but every time I felt like I needed to crash on the couch with a cat for 30 min, I did.
