Hello from the road
Jan. 5th, 2004 03:11 pmYay for saying hi to LJ friends again! I tried to update from Seattle, but after the stupid Mac ate my entire entry... twice... I gave up. Ergh. Vacations are kind of offputting in some ways--no chance of a normal sleep schedule, no kitties, and of course this time I've been surrounded the whole time by people who see me as kind of an HLM attachment. Blech.

( House envy )
Oregon: I dunno, I'm starting to spin out from too little directed mental activity. It really doesn't take much non-independence and boredom before the "what the hell am I doing with my life?" voices kick in and I start to worry about tons of things... I think it especially pleases the worry-monsters to make me worry when I'm stuck on vacation and couldn't act on any solution-type thoughts if I were to have them. Grrr, that dynamic makes me so mad. I fight it off, at the moment, by writing this. And if I'm clever, after this I'll find something else semi-productive to do.
The new year's resolution is at least holding pretty well--it's easier to change habits when you're traveling, of course, just because everything is different. I kind of expected that and won't really be giving myself props until I've proven I can be good at home, too, but still. Progress anywhere is good.
