I've not had a great deal of energy or motivation, so i've just gone with choosing low activity. I believe a significant factor was simply my monthly cycle. I was able to encourage myself to discuss things with team members and colleagues , but otherwise frittered away time. Relaxed. Distracted myself. I dunno.
Thursday was therapy where we explored a little about the divided sense of self: the pull to work on photos on Monday vs the intent to work on planning. We noted the right hand gesturing with planning, doing, etc. Initially though, there was the block to "arriving" that i removed quickly with deep breathing and then dissolved into tears.
Dinner was a run to the grocery store, sushi and a binge on chips. I think i read a old sci fi novel or E R Burrough's Efficiency Expert.
Friday was much like Thursday but i worked from home. I think there was a bath and i read one of Edmond Hamilton's starwolves novels. (Yes, reading retro these days.)
Saturday i spent deep in my genealogy database as an escape, mostly collecting notes of recent deaths and births, photos i actually have for folks but haven't included, squeezing details from obituaries, and identifying the uncles, aunts, and cousins for whom i am missing birth years.
I visited with someone from meeting for a little career exploration. It was not particularly revelatory. Some sense that getting more significant management training may not be particularly valuable; an important clue to look at "product management" roles carefully (because his role is more like my release manager role than the Whale's product management role). Ran errands, more database twiddles, watched Christine watch the end of The Good, The Bad, The Weird.
Off for a day out of the house.
