Sunday!

[Jordan]

Exhausted.

[Josh]

Really????

[Alison]

Sparkle

[Johanna]

Beat.

[Valerie]

Decisions

[Karen]

Anxious?

I have to confess that these one-word at-that-moment states-of-being make me anxious for all of you. I become over-hyphenated and all mama-bear. Why is Jordan exhausted and Johanna beat? What decisions is Valerie C making? Is the snow sparkling for Alison or is that a metaphorical sparkle? And what is confounding Josh??? It's like a series of very compressed mystery-suspenses. Elevated breathing and heart rate...

; )

I often feel the same here.

But I seldom ask for explanations, because I think - maybe wrongly - that if the people would have wanted to talk about the matter, they would have said something in the General News topic.

I know! The anxiety! The wonder! The mystery! I love it, though! I love reading down the line and getting all those tiny glimpses into life. I would love to hear the stories behind some of these words. And yeah, I also figure if something was worth mentioning, people would mention it elsewhere. Perhaps the mystery is part of the allure of this page?

Oh, and Karen, here's a little story for you to ease your curiosity--it was both. I love a little metaphorical sparkle (and actual sparkle, too) and the sparkling snow was absolutely arresting this morning. It snowed all day yesterday and much of the night and, as it often does after a storm, it dawned a shining, beautiful, sunny day and I just gasped as I looked out the window this morning. The mountains, black and white and pink in the early morning light, totally took my breath away. The sun was just coming through the trees and shining on the fresh snow and I saw a world of glitter. It was truly awesome and I smiled so much all morning. I was all a-sparkle, inside and out. :)

I don't mind sharing, but it's nothing too exciting. ;-) I'm debating a job offer from my current employer. I will probably go back to working full time or close to full time in May. I don't love my job (I'm a paralegal) but I do like my employer and we could use the money. BUT then I get to stress about all of the kid stuff - after school/child care (which she thinks she's too old for), evening sports practices and games, etc. DH is no help because he works 70+ hours/week and is not home in the evenings. Thankfully, my parents are retired and not too far away. They help me out a lot! :-)

[Anne]

Sick :(

And to avoid anxiety, not very sick, but headache and a little nauseous and tired, so spending the day off work.

I also speculate around the words here, and love it! :)

Rest and get better soon, Anne!

I hope you feel better soon!

Spring!

[Karen]

Relieved ; )

[Jordan]

I usually take it to mean one word posts here, but then why post something similar somewhere else? Though sometimes I do.

My Saturday was tiring. I got up at 5am, took a four hour train to NYC, walked around in the rain, went to the book fair, walked in the rain again, did some writing in a Starbucks that didn't have a good writing vibe, walked in the rain again, grabbed dinner, took another four hour train back home, and finally got in bed after midnight at some point.

Sunday, I could barely keep my eyes open. I need to get so many things done, but could do nothing except read.

I'm still catching up on my sleep, mostly because all those things that needed to get done, still need to get done when I get home from work. lol.

[Alison]

Progress!

Stuck!

LOL. I'm still beat because I've been working waaaay too much lately. But - before anybody says anything about this - I want to add that after this week it'll get easier. :-)

They kind of are. But I wonder if I am being a hypochondriac. I just lost my therapist, and I suspect that I am reacting to the loss before I have really experienced it. :-)

Or perhaps a little worried? Take care of the wrists and yourself!

It's hard finding the right person. And because I credit her with so much of my current physical wellbeing, I guess some anxiety is natural.

You had said this loss would be temporary. Will you get her back at some point?

Only if I switch spas. Which...is probably not practical.

Oh dear. That's always rough. Good luck either getting her back or finding someone new.

[Jordan]

I feel like most days, if I were to write down a word it would be "books". Every day. That just seems kinda boring after awhile, you know?

But anyway...

BOOKS.

I wish you well in your search for a new LMT. Good luck!

Burrito!

Josh, I am an Accountant and work on a computer all day. I have had a total of six nerve and tendon release surgeries on my hands. I just wanted to mention to you a product I feel has saved me a lot of pain. I switched to a 3M Wireless Ergonomic Mouse, Small (EM550GPS) that I got from Amazon. It is vertical and keeps your wrist in a much better position. It comes in a small or large size. It has made quite a difference for me. I do empathize with what you are going through.
