Trying To Get Back into the Groove
I've been back long enough now to be picking up with things, so why do I feel like my feet are wearing concrete boots? Yesterday, in the name of shopping to restock, I pretty much pissed away the day. Today, determined to get in motion, I spent the day getting caught up on local politics in order to make informed decisions at the polls. Now here I sit, trying to generate some coherent thoughts, never mind cogent; that would be asking too much, I think. Tomorrow, I'm tentatively scheduled to socialize. Yeah, I'm moving . . . around in circles . . .
So maybe I should reread The Curse of Chalion yet again, though perhaps the fire of Ista, the protagonist of Palladin of Souls would be more inspiring. One way or another, I need a jumpstart. Anyone got any semi-serious thoughts on which I can chew?
Ashley's adventures at Wal-Mart put me in mind of Nickel and Dimed, though that's probably not the most inspiring book for her to read just now...
Melissa's collegiate adventures make me both nostalgic and glad - I think I had a much easier passage through my undergraduate studies...
Shannon's moving misadventures put me in mind of my own experiences, though I suspect I align with the wrong role there... Go ahead, smack him upside the head; he probably won't even notice, unless he watches Everybody Loves Raymond. I still have boxes not yet unpacked from last summer, and I do live under a continual threat that someday they will mysteriously disappear, never to be seen again. Fortunately, I'm not the only one here slow off the mark...
On the plus side, I am getting into cooking again. That, of course, keeps making me notice more depleted stocks, some that were running low when I ran out. Now I have more excuses to restock...
I've also finally beamed the photos on my phone to my computer, so I can return that overpriced doodad I purchased yesterday, which was totally unnecessary after all. As soon as I get back to my own machine, I'll upload some new pics of the Gurlz. :-)
Gotta get my groove back - wish me luck.
