flexagonSomething's wrong with me... I'm just not wired to think about my career, or for that matter the big picture of the world, without spinning out and going nuts. I'm trying hard to retrain myself into thinking about them sometimes, and then not, and then thinking about them again, but it seems like all thoughts of relaxing and taking my time are intellectual. Emotionally, I've been tending to panic. HLM did what he could to calm me last night... I think he was probably doing his husbandly duty more than being spontaneously turned on, but it was a loving act and it helped.
Anyway... I'm not going to give up, so that may mean doing some scaling back and relaxing this summer. (Oh dear... not that.) Maybe I'll take a month off from TKD like I did last year, when the weather gets really hot. Or maybe I'll take a vacation, which I always forget I can do.
I haven't done much this week besides work and finish painting the bedroom--the pattern (remember the pictures? -- sorry to casual readers, link is friends-only) goes all the way around the room now. I went to TKD and lifted weights as usual. Today should be more interesting though... I'm leaving work at 2:00 to go to a portrait sitting with HLM. Snooty, huh? :) It's because we got a gift certificate for the sitting and one 8 x 10 print in the mail from our real estate agent as a thank-you for bringing them business, and after calling the studio I learned that the certificate is worth over $200. So we decided to use it. We don't have any good pictures of the two of us together that aren't from the wedding, so I'm actually pretty happy at the thought of having more.

Re: I love the paint-job in that room!
