I was feeling better, but now I’m just feeling ill again. Not enough to really prevent me from doing anything, but just enough to make everything feel like a bit of a chore. I work this evening, but with any luck I’ll be able to escape early and then come home and get a good night sleep. I’m quite sure that my lingering feelings of malaise is due to the fact that I haven’t been taking very good care of myself lately. Self care is a fine balance that I’m very good at throwing off kilter.

I know that this is not a logical conclusion, but I keep thinking that at some point I’m going to get it all figured out and I’ll stop swinging off in one direction or another. I mean I've only been this way my whole life. I’ll be really great about exercising for several months and then I’ll miss one workout for some reason or another and then I won’t exercise again for months, kicking myself for not doing so.
It is the same way with my sleeping habits. The key is I have to stay off the computer after I get home from work, which is something I have proved time and time again I am unwilling to do.
I find my eating habit are easier to regulate. I just don't bring junk into the house. Actually remebering to eat well at regular intervals, I flucuate in, but not wildly.
It’s a funny dichotomy; on one hand I desperately crave a rigid routine, but soon after I get one in place I start bucking the system. I guess It's that just that restless intuitive nature of mine. I really don't want to change who I am, but sometimes I wish I could just be one way or the other a good girl or a rebel, instead I am both. Lucky me.
Sorry about the rambling navel gazing. While I know it’s not a very entertaining, I wanted to at least pop in with something and this is just what's on my mind today. Instead of sitting in front of the computer I'm going to go throw myself into action that usually knock these feelings away.
I just thought of something fun to attach. This is a game I found ages ago that I love and find to be extremely addictive. Play at your own risk.

- While I'm loving life in the Austin area, I mainly grew up in the Hudson Valley of New York. I’m a 38 year old INFP married to a very handy INTJ. We have a three year old that keeps life interesting and full of meaning, a little girl in the womb and a 9 year old puppy. I tend to take a Zen approach to life and, at least mentally, I’m always going off on one tangent or another. This really is just a hodge-podge of whatever’s on my mind at the moment with little rhyme or reason.

Of course I had to go and play a round of it. I haven't played it in months: 2703
I once proved that I could sleep fairly regularly and feel good doing it. I could do this by getting up at the same time every day. Although I proved this, I never had the discipline to follow through.
I get up at the same time everyday, no matter what- I think it's because of the dog. But on weekends, I go back to bed and get up close to 9.
I know what you mean about regiment and schedules, though. When I was out of work, I centered my day around job interviews, school pick up and drop off, and volunteer time. Not very scheduled except for the drop off/pick up part. And not running on the same track each day can make you feel sick.
Glad to see that you have posted today! Take care of you.
