Me? Currently I'm in a whatever period.
It's a general feeling of being restless, distracted, disinterested, in between, too many balls in the air, on auto pilot. I could also sum this up in general by saying whatever it is, I don't feel like it.
I don't feel this way often and when I do, it doesn't last long. Seriously, thank God. Since I'm a Veruca Salt I want it now control freak, it makes me uncomfortable in my own skin because it's just not me. It requires patience I don't have, leaving me feeling stretched, exhausted, and irritable. If people ask me what's wrong I get surly. I need to get over myself.
The common ground here between you and me and the world is that we all have these periods. Nothing is wrong per se, but we're just in a mood, okay?
The uncommon ground is what we do to turn those frowns upside down. I'm always interested in seeing how other people, particularly other women, go about small doses of self care to ground themselves and return to center. So I hope you'll share your top three mood changers with me in the comments below. I'll be doing my patented top five this weekend:
1. Lose myself in a book or several books, ignoring everything around me.
2. Cook up a storm.
3. Paint my nails.
4. Spend a lot of time with my dogs, including outside time.
5. Organize something and clean something.
And fuck it, I'm getting a massage too. And having lunch with my girlfriends. And trying to make MFD do something fun. And only wearing lounge attire. And going to see my niece. The massage and the niece and something fun only if I kick this bastard chest cold tonight.
How do you get back to you when you're feeling un-you-ish?
