there is such a thing as a free lunch. sort of. you may not pay on the spot, but you do pay; somehow, some way... you pay.
it's nice to be busy but not unnecessarily stressed. i'm still frustrated at times because as always i have too much to do, but i'm not focusing as much on the bigger picture things that i can't control. and that... the wrong-minded focus on things outside my domain... was a big part of the problem all along. it still is, at times; but lately i've struck a nice balance of trying to make changes vs. letting things go, making plans for the future vs. living for today.
things i've been up to in the last few months: become hopelessly addicted to frozen yogurt (i'm all about the tart, fruity flavors and the self-serve/make-your-own), watched all 4 seasons of grey's anatomy, spent a ridiculous amount of time helping d/ w his job search, ripped out and replaced part of our front lawn, embarked on an "art project" for our house (buying frames and art for our tall, narrow living room wall), thought seriously about getting a pet rabbit (and visited a few shelters), and saw two friends i hadn't seen in 18 years.
