elvendollon Friday: came home feeling totally drained, and totally failed to cook. so drained that i are pasta roni as comfort food instead of digging a chunk out of the bowl of root veggies i'd made the night before. so drained, that i came close to missing liquor-store hours on the way to a gathering - luckily, though, ice cream had made everything better for long enough to get my ass out of the door.
unfortunately, the power of ice cream isn't ever lasting, and my anxiety spiked as i walked into the gathering - it took a couple of hours to calm down, and once it did, i got sleepy. luckily, everything outside myself was going well enough that i have pleasant memories of the evening.
on Saturday, i didn't get out of the house in time to make it to yoga. instead,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
goat and i putzed around our house for a bit, finally drano'd the tub, and went on a girly shopping trip. yay girly shopping trips and damn is lush a dangerous place! between that and service at the other side being slow, we were running late to silks and had to take a cab there - and were still about 5 minutes late.
class was cool. i only got as far as climbing up and down, and it was at the same time more then i thought i could do and less then i hoped to do. i'm definitely going back though.
got back to the house in time to hop in the shower before k. and r. showed up, and then came the longest dinner excursion ever - 3.5 hours between leaving the house and getting back. part of that time was T'ing and cabbing to addis, part of it was waiting an hour to get seated, and part was waiting almost as long to get food. luckily, the food was yummy. sadly, i didn't end up doing anything else that evening.
on Sunday, i slept in and took too long pulling my head out of my ass - didn't get any cleaning done before heading off to porter to try and take a slings class. slings class ended up not happening, and being replaced with hot cocoa with folks from the previous class, which was really good, except took longer then i expected, which made me anxious to get home and get started on stuff. only i got home and felt totally drained, and took all evening to do some relatively minor cleaning and no homework whatsoever. suck.
today is the first day of cutting back on caffeine. only i forgot to grab the ginseng tea on my way in, which might be making today be even harder. of course, if within a week, i don't find some sort of natural energy, i'll be going back to caffeine, because i slog through most days as is, i can't afford to lose what little zap caffeine gives me.
it's also schmoopday, and i'm trying to be more schmoopy then stressed or tired, which is a balance i've ben failing on recently. not only do i feel bad about being less there withsol3, but it also feels like a chunk of me went missing, and i don't like it one bit.
and, while yesterday i was surprised by how unsore i was, i'm no longer surprised - i'm damn sore. my arms most of all, followed closely by my left leg and muscle under my ribs - i never even knew there was muscle there.
sol3 is being insane and working an off shift this week, and i'm missing his aim-presence. it's amazing that having a not-very-active window on my desktop is a source of feeling connected.
