Hard work
I am trying to stay focused, but it's hard work.
I've done it again -- let my life get all emptied out. I don't know if I'll ever know why it's so easy for me to forget how to be a person by myself.
My Fiancee is in VT for the holiday, and then New York till the fifth... I'm in Boston by myself for a week and a half. It's in relative isolation that I realize that for the last year or more I've been living in the same pattern -- If she is home, I spend time with her. If she's not home, or if she's unavailable, I wait until she is home/available.
Well, a week and a half by myself, and two days in I am beginning to confront the problem. I have a lot of practice tackling this, and it's really not that scary anymore. I have set a few goals for myself, harkening back to my Gaming days for some motivation.
