Journal
Today is the second day of feeling not sick, per-se but sore. Sore and tired. I
spent most of yesterday morning feeling really low energy and like I had just
finished a really long run. My energy picked up in the evening, but then I fell
asleep on the couch reading quite early for me.
Now this morning feels damn similar. I'm tired and sore and just kind of want to
lie down again. I'm not sure what accounts for feeling this way. I am glad
vacation is right around the corner.
None of this is helped by the fact that I have fallen off my task wagon a
little. My org files have not been as helpful for reminding me of things, and I
have not been as diligent about adding things as I have in the recent past. I
think I need to hit reboot and try again in the new year.
Last week, Ariel gave me a thank you note at the CMT meeting. I finally opened
it today and it was a delight to read. She had resigned herself to not getting
quality poultry this year for Thanksgiving. Being able to not just get a local
turkey, but also help in the slaughter had a major impact on her. It's nice to
be able to help people like that. I sometimes get caught up in my own head and
tend to think of myself as pretty selfish. I am. But I also believe in giving
and doing the right thing by people when I see it, and that makes a difference.
Thinking a bit about what I wrote above, I wonder if part of what I'm feeling
right now is a lack of focus. There are objectives at work, and on the
selectboard and on the ME200 committee and on the CMT. But I don't feel
ownership over a lot of it right now.
What I need to do is sit down and make a list of things that need to get done
for the various responsibilities I have and make sure I not only am getting
things done, but that there are tangible milestones where I'll know I'm making
progress. Even if the milestones move or change, just having them would be a coup.

After another slow start to my day things picked up nicely. I watched a few
episodes of GoT with Emma while ostensibly working. I actually got more done
doing that than I had in a while sitting downstairs. I think there's something
inherently distracting about being by myself.
