Current mood:busy

Yay! I got to have dinner with some friends. It is always cool to hang out with fun uplifting people.

I ran a nicely timed loop of errands today after work...picked up my veggies from the CSA, deposited a check, and got groceries for a casseoulet, and home made pizza...I also picked up two advent calendars for December! I might even go back and get a bunch for my brother and his family! I think that would be a fun teaser present...to whet the appetite for the main present on Christmas! I came home and made some food for La Suprema, made a few phone calls, chatted with the lovely and charming Mark (I love my primo!) and then got some quality time with my friends. I have jam packed my life. I honestly do need some down time with NOTHING SCHEDULED...just a bunch of days of nothingness! I still feel a bit wound up...I have a movie scheduled in a few minutes...but I feel like I should go to the gym and get out some of this energy. ...I'm actually a little bit tired...(but *my* version of tired..is still much more animated than some people on an average day) It's that strange feeling of being tired...but still feeling inside, like I need to be doing something..going somewhere, getting something done. I love surfing and going on hikes because, it gives me a sense of...inward calm, where all of my fears, doubts, and anxiousness is quelled. But at the same time, I also feel exhilerated and happy. It's a great feeling. Destressed. Relaxed AND excited..all at the same time. -Grounded. After I go out and do something like that, I am almost always in a better frame of mind to make good decisions. So I need to make it an everyday event for me...and not just a few times a week. Plus...The poor little doggie needs some quality lovin'. I need to take her on some more walks. She misses me.
