Yeah, there's all kinds of ways to get around the feeling of being overwhelmed and out of balanced - just gotta find what works for you.
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I have been known to make lists and prioritize using those. I resist too much structure but I have to admit I don't do as well without it. I think that means kinda approaching things like a school day. A period for one thing, a period for another. But I resist because I hate having to approach my life that way. I know, it's irrational. But I'll give it another shot. I swore to myself I wasn't going to waste my unemployed time the way I've done before. And I've been better about it. But not as good as I want to be.

Better. I t looks like it was a minor heart attack and , happily she is so aware of her health, that she got to the ER quickly. But, I am guessing she is still smoking.Glad to hear she's better. Too bad about the smoking, though.

That is such a hard habit to stop. I'm so glad it never appealed to me. Giving up sugar is hard enough. I can imagine that even if one has had a heart attack and the doctor says "QUIT SMOKING!" that it's hard to get the monkey off yer back.

Oh, sure, there may be a zillion more impressive things to put on a to-do list, and no one really wants to have to find a way to say "Wallowed extensively for 3 years" on a resume, but it may be something your body and mind needed to do.

don't like that either. But with the kind of projects you have - it might be the only way. Which is why I do my list for 4-6 days. With the idea that I need to spend at least two hours in the garden and that although an hour would get rid of most of the shreding , 15 min would make a dent and I can do that . and I don't really expect everything to get done - because I add to the list. the list becomes the ground for me. and for me this means my time is a little more efficent - so I can spend time when matt is home, and we are both off form work either playing , or doing big projects.

It's definitely great to be able to nap when the RSI pain gets to be high. It's been a bit high the last couple days. In fact, I had to turn down a gig at The Brain Wash because I wasn't certain I'd be able to rehearse enough in time due to the RSI. I'm trying something new and seeing a chiropractic neurologist next week. I've had RSI for 10 years now. I don't do as much of what's within my power to do as I should (there are exercises I should be doing regularly and I'm kinda half-assed about it), but even so my case has been pretty intractable. A 7th-generation Chinese Traditional Medicine doctor and accupuncturist said my case was one of the weirdest (in that it was not budgeable) they'd ever seen. I put off my weekly deep tissue massage so I'd be able to put the money towards this appointment, but I was wrong about how long I could do without.
Still, it's nothing compared to some of the migraine hell I read about here.

You may very well be right that I should make shorter chunks of time for some things (for other things I need more time because I need to get into it...like studying Mac OS X). I didn't get out in the yard today but twice this week I've pulled weeds for 10 or 15 minutes.

I just wanna snuggle you, Spidra. I shall think snuggly thoughts in your direction as I head off to dreamland.

yes, napping is important - but so is going for a walk. when you can . two friends with RSI. they were both told to walk a lot. the more your blood moves, the more your body heals.
heading in the general direction of bed... sleep well, rest well, and peaceful minds.
