My therapist asked if I bring my dog to work. I told her that’s a good idea but unfortunately I can’t. Technically I’ve never asked, but I’m making an educated guess. I may bring her to the next therapy session though.
Last night was a good reconnecting evening and early birthday gift in some ways since I think the schedules will be too busy over the next few days. We’re having another houseguest starting Thursday evening, but it’s only one person who’s in town for additional activities, plus he’s not my friend so the obligation to entertain is not as prevalent. There’s just no watching television in only my boxer briefs. (Unless I capitalize on my idea to be a gateway fck.)
Tonight may or may not be dinner with law school friends in Hyde Park and may or may not be another meeting of the kicky reality-tv group and may or may not be me watching one of the movies that arrived in the mail yesterday. I really wish there were 30 hours in every day – it would open up so many more opportunities for me. I haven’t even touched my MPC or turntables in weeks, because life has been so busy and overcrowded and overstimulating. I keep saying after this weekend it will calm down, and I need to make that true. Luckily I’m having a big party on Saturday where I’ll see most every friend in the metropolitan area and then I will not feel socially obligated for at least a week. I don’t mean for “obligated” to imply that I have pushy and needy friends – it sounds like people are always banging down my door and forcing me to hang out with them against my will. I own up to the fact that I want to do things with them, which is why I say ‘yes’ or call them up on my own volition and make plans. But sometimes after the fact I get mad at myself for poor planning and not taking care of myself. So I’m constantly trying to better monitor my behavior and not be to hasty in my schedule planning and make sure that I say “no” at times to myself and others so that in the long run I’ll feel better about how I’m spending my time.
I haven’t quite started to work on that in the work arena yet. Some other time.
