Blues.
Cause no 1: I am not so pressured at work so i am able to be slightly reflective during the day. The reflection brings up the negative framing. I'm not sure what to do about the negative framing other than the mundane lather-rinse-repeat cycle of identifying the issue and trying to cope.
Cause no 2. Sandy. No, really, obsessive reading isn't helping my brain. It's hunting for SOMETHING but I don't think it's going to find it. I'm trying to draw a line on reading this morning. I looked at photos of the Philadelphia area (my home for ten years) and read a comprehensive WSJ article. I need to wait until after 5 eastern before i allow myself to read again. There's nothing "actionable" i can do for anyone between now and then, brain, so just let it go.
I did do something clever yesterday, which was identify something pleasurable to do in the evening (updating the metadata in Lightroom about my assisted identification of this little yellow cinquefoil). I need to plan more little happy diversions so that i don't do restless diversions.
I suppose it's like packing a healthy snack.
With my thoughts for safety and speedy return of power to the 6 million without on the east coast.
