I called up the old job around 6:30 in the A.M. on Saturday, knowing it was around shift change and that everyone would be running around trying to finish up their work, but it was the first day I was awake during the end of night shift and felt like seeing how people were doing. It felt good to speak to a couple of my former coworkers to tell them I enjoyed what I was doing and genuinely mean it, current aggravations and all.
Part of the upswing in my life involves me finding the energy to bone up and actually attempt to do things on my days off besides turtling in my home. However, I find I want to do *everything*, and it's frustrating as fuck to not be able to do half of the things I really want to tackle. Like, a number of them are sort of mundane. But I look around and, crap!, it's Sunday night and I'm pulling out my tablet to prep for Monday's visits. I have three books demanding immediate attention, a list of museums whose contents I still haven't gotten around to mocking, movies I wanted to catch, etc etc. But I've made actual human contact a priority over other endeavors (and when the experiences can be combined, total score!...so, uhm, if anyone wants to drop everything and watch the first season of SG-1 with me I'd be completely cool with it), so the list continues to grow. I'm just still in awe of the fact that I'm NOT just vegging. That I'm fighting myself and my reticence and finding the life outside my apartment. I'll just continue to tell the perpetually unhappy voice inside my head to stfu for a little while.
Random thought: Queen's Don't Stop Me Now = ultimate "overcompensation after a break-up" song? No? Just me? Hmm. I thought so.
And: Simplify Media. Allows you to share music with people on a friend's list. Anyone on it already? My username is Fredericks.
