Getting back in there
Mar. 2nd, 2020 10:22 pmPretty good day today, all things considered. Made it to the gym this morning, although, admittedly, afterward I had one of those realizations about routine trumping good sense. It was actually a really nice day today, weather-wise; there wasn't really any reason for me to have gone to the gym; I could have just exercised outside. But, oh well. Exercise is exercise, right? :) Anyway, did that, got the MM pod edit and production done that I needed to, did a bunch of other work, pretty much cleared my dailies (excepting the dreaded inbox)...even rolled with coming back from the gym this morning to find that the water had been shut off in my building and I couldn't shower. I spent most of the day with some low-key anxiety, but I think it's getting better, and I actually feel pretty good about dealing with it and taking care of business.
T had a class this evening, so that was part of my long (but productive) day, I think, since I didn't have the usual evening routine to attend to. Tomorrow will be interesting, and also likely very busy. Back to therapy, for one thing (I didn't have an appointment last week; I forgot that wasn't recorded). I've got the NOF edit, and I'm like fifty-fifty on whether I can finish it all tomorrow, but if not, then Wednesday. Actually, the odds are probably falling on that, since finally things can proceed somewhat on Project Flank, so I have a meeting about that tomorrow. Plus the MM stream, but we'll see if that shakes out. In any case...plenty to do.
Two other big things from today. One, I finally got around to some personal grooming (once the water got turned back on), so that's a kind of red letter day, since it surely has been a while. Two, I officially broke the ice on the job hunt, so that's comforting; I can really get moving on that now.
So, yeah. Got a lot done today, and beyond that, I feel like...progress is being made, which I'm finding I should probably treat as well as stuff getting done, but I don't. Taking steps is taking steps. It shouldn't make such a huge difference that they're not the final steps. I really should take to heart more the steps I take, rather than keep focusing on the things I don't finish. I guess that's a kind of therapy-like angle on things, huh. In any case...today was the best of both worlds; things got done and steps were taken. Feels like a long day, but feels like a lot got done. I mean...it feels like that, sure, but also that is actually what went on today. :)
Anyway. Bed soon, which will be quite nice, then another busy day tomorrow, looks like. I should get used to that. I think I'm headed into a space where all my days are going to be busy. Hope so, I guess, in some way, anyway. Regardless, there is much to do. This is just the first day in what feels like a long while where I feel like I'm actually in a position to do the much stuff there is to do. One step at a time, if necessary. Well. It's always necessary. Should get used to that, too. Onward!
