| Do you ever feel like you're screaming, but nobody can hear you? | | |
| I'm feeling blue.
I feel like my world's in chaos. Just a little detail changed, a minor inconvenience, some unexpected obstacles or a new minor project makes me feel even less in control. Pushed over the edge, stretched too thin. It's the emotional exhaustion factor more than anything: What do I even want to do with myself? Sometimes, I don't know. Nothing, anything.
Right now, I don't want to do anything. I'd like to temporarily insulate myself from the world and dream alone, wrestle with my confusion, sleep some time away while my life figures itself out.
I can't do that. Must write, research, read, print, organize, design, plan....
It'll be better soon, right? | | |
| I've gotten lots of work done today, but I feel like it's only made a minor dent. I've got to get on my game; this semester's going by so fast and my work ethic is just now kicking in.
But I'm taking a break to post a Georgia Nichols daily horoscope (she's my favorite wacky Canadian astrologer EVER ... wait – are there other ones?).
"Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22)
Your gonads are in overdrive during the next six weeks. You're feeling hot and sexy. However, this is also an excellent time to clean up old business and wrap up loose details with insurance matters, debt, taxes and the like. Just do it. (You'll love yourself when this stuff is finally out of the way.)"
How come MY horoscopes never mention gonads? Hmmm.... | | |
