I expected last week to be relaxing. It was not.
Besides the fact that there were a lot of things going on -- changes and leavings and frustrations and disappointments -- I think that all of my unstructured time was a big problem. I'm not used to it. It makes me anxious. I think about all of the things I could be doing, and it paralyzes me. Sometimes too many choices turns out to be counterproductive. Like choosing a new shampoo out of the 50 different kinds at CVS, the dithering you need to do becomes an enormous timesink.
I have some work this week, though not too much, so I think it will be a nice balance between busy and free time.
My head is too full of sensible minutiae. I feel boring.
