My mood is been decidedly grumpy these days, even though the viral infection has pretty much subsided. Been trying to figure out what's the problem. Walked into my hobby/PC room and it hit me. I have too many things going on that need a decision and it's overwhelmed me. Which sewing project to work on, what driveway contractor are we going to use, will DS ever choose a date for his graduation party, should I keep the summer quilt & sheets (still in original wrapping) or keep shopping, start cleaning up the dead plants in front garden, go for a walk vs. workout with Wii. Just a few years ago I juggled full-time job, hobbies, family, etc. My life right now is full of "shoulds", but what I really want to do is crawl back in bed. Oh - maybe that's because I had to dress really early to pick up DH from dealer after his 8 AM visit to Harley shop - LOL. Sun is out, I should feel peppy, wondering if I'm depressed, old, or just lazy. I keep telling myself I'll feel better if I get the old bod moving, but not convinced yet.

Jackie...that's exactly how I felt all last year after I was laid off my job. It seemed like when I was working I was able to prioritize everything else quite nicely but when I had all that time on my hands and no deadlines I was constantly in a state of confusion and just wanted to go back to bed. Maybe just pick one project and complete it...a little one...and it will lead to another. Maybe.

When I feel that way I always make a list.
Then, even if I do only one thing a week/day it still makes me feel "accomplished" to see even one thing marked as "done" on my list...Also, I think it has something to do with the time of year.

Well, a few things were settled in the last hour. DS stopped by to say he looked at the banquet room and it is perfect, even narrowed down the date. Place has a bandstand, so his band can play later. Second, I took the quilt & sheets into the bedroom (they've been sitting in original bag on my hobby room floor for 2 weeks) and found the colors are perfect.

I also took a short nap with my tiger cat on the sofa - guess you call that a real "catnap" - LOL. One of problems is in the gut and I looked up side effects for antibiotic I'm still taking. Sure 'nuf, there were my symptoms. Only 2 more days to go, then I'm off the stuff.

Oh - Harley shop called, so we now know what time we need to head out.

Some progress on the "list".
