Twitter overload

[cassiopia]

Wow, if it weren't for LoudTwitter I'd hardly post at all anymore. I guess I don't really feel like I have alot to say these days. I'm all sound bites and no substance. I feel like I've been living under a gloom cloud for the last few months. I'm not really sure what is causing it or how to shift it but at least I can see it. It's not that life is

Writing

[bzero]

heh. I always procrastinate and never actually start writing until I should be in bed. Tonight is a good example of that!

Hope you feel better soon, and get back on track for better health. I really need to do the same, but I have less of a plan.

Love and miss you!

*hugs*

Kinda there with you. I've been all about FB lately, because it doesn't require much effort or any real nuanced honesty. My life has become very unbalanced but at least I feel like I now see it, and see the path back, even if it's slow going.

Also very much knowing I need to start with basic self-care - physical nourishment like good food and exercise. And still in the limbo between the self-care I can do now (mostly taking rest-and-alone time wherever I can squeeze it in) and the time when my schedule will allow me the space to care for myself more fully.

Pretty much all my good intentions went out the window after Rites. I decided to take it easy for a week or two and it turned into months. Ugh.

I am also waiting on a schedule change that will allow me to get back to the exercise class I love, but I have no firm date from work as to when the new schedule will go into effect. So frustrating. I should make room in my schedule as it is now, but getting started has been the struggle.

Getting started always sucks, for me. I'm real good at planning to get started. I love to make calendars and lists, to purchase equipment and accessories, to get all ready to start...and then I don't start.

Peek-a-boo; I see you..... And glad for it!

I was told recently by a person who studies mindfulness meditation that the Work is not in doing it "right," the Work (& Benefit) is in each time we bring ourselves back. It's the process of noticing we've been "away" and gently re-committing.

Sending you love...

I've started feeling very down myself. We both are members of Fitcen. We should go work out sometime/go to a group fitness class. Chuck likes to go early and that's not really my thing.

[cassiopia]

We should see if our schedules match up to take a class together, although until my work schedule shifts I can't do evening classes on weeknights. The hope is that I will start getting off earlier in the not too distant future, but I haven't been able to nail my boss down on a date.

Just a random thought: how do you get to work every day? Do you drive?

I try to ride my bike to work every day (I know it might not be for you), but when I can't I take the bus. That might not sound like an exercise plan -- but it is! See, the bus doesn't pick you up at your door, and it doesn't drop you off right at the office. It requires a little walking. Every day. I think 10 minutes of walking at the start and end of my work day is a good thing.

[cassiopia]

In theory I should be able to take the bus to work, but the closest the bus gets me to my office is the corner od Springfield and Duncan, it's about a mile walk on the shoulder (no sidewalk) from Prairie Gardens, under the interstate overpass and past Plastipac where lots of truck come rumbling past. I've done it twice. The walk is down right hairy on the best of days and mildly terrifying in bad weather. And I would never consider it in the dark, and except in the height of summer, it's full dark or dusk when I get off work.

I hope to have a walkable or bikeable commute someday, but this job isn't it.
