Also, good luck, shrift! You can do it!
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

I did it. Feedback wasn't bad overall. One specific comment was harsh, but if that's how people feel, I need to address it regardless of whether it was intentional. (It was not because I am not a monster.)
I am just going to remind myself that negative emotions are okay. I haven't been in this job for a year. I can move on to something else. It's fine. I can deal with this.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Crap, forgot I was supposed to be fasting before my doctor's appt today. I've had about a third of a can of Coke Zero. Hopefully that won't be too big a deal.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That sounds very close to fasting!

OMG, why am I ridiculous? I was looking at job postings last night, and saw one at the place my old FWB used to work. We've totally fallen out of touch, so I sent him a message on LinkedIn.... and now I can't stand that he hasn't written back! We have literally not been in any contact in two years, and it's been 12 hours. I think I need to start dating again.

I turned in final grades last night at around 10 pm. Yay for electronic grade posting! And then I went to bed, and then later still I woke with a terrible headache from eye and neck strain. I may need a set of actual reading glasses; I don't think the progressives cut it on days when I'm spending 6 to 10 hours working on my laptop.

Your behavior isn't ridiculous, the problem is that you *feel* ridiculous. That's the annoying side of dating, the second guessing that goes with it.

Also, not quite done with teaching yet, I have follow up work still to do for my conference, plus 4 rec letters to write and a few personal statements to read. And then I need to line up all my doctor visits before the kids get out of school.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

fwiw, I have found that to be true. The way I have to hold my head to read with my progressives makes them useful for occasional reading during a day of doing other stuff but not ideal for long stretches of mostly reading.

I feel ridiculous because it isn't even about dating! It's semi-professional outreach to someone I don't want to date!

I have two separate pairs of glasses, and it really makes me think that bifocals wouldn't even be effective for me. I like having the mid-range prescription in the whole frame, for the computer.
