end of vacation blues
Dec. 26th, 2016 11:58 amBlah. Why do I always waste a day like this, feeling blue about having to head back to work tomorrow? It's bad enough on an ordinary Sunday of a weekend, but I've had a full 8 days off, 9 counting today. I'm feeling gloomy in advance. And it's not like I hate my job (not at all) ; I just kind of liked being at home and being artsy productive and seeing family and getting to see a bit more of B as well. All in all, I had a nice time off and it felt like a real break.
So far today, didn't get out of bed til 10 am. Binged on a bag of overpriced fundraiser caramel corn for breakfast.
Dithering about going to Knoxville next weekend for the Pistol Ultra. Pro--I've already registered for it. Pro--with a 30 hour cut off, I can walk as slow as needed and still be an oficial finisher, Pro-would be a back to it yet again sort of gesture for the new year. Pro--I wouldn't feel like a DNS wussy failure. Con--I haven't done any real training. Con-- we dont have a hotel for friday night before the race yet, and driving up that day wouldn mean leaving during the middle of the night. Con--who knows what the weather will be doing. Con--makes for a busy weekend. Guess I should talk to B abd see what he he feels up to doing for the weekend as well.
Also need to talk to him about maybe finding an end of the year sale and finally buying ourselves a new refridgerator.
Blue rose hand brooch tattoo is healing up well, which after the bad time I had with my last tattoo is a relief.
Guess I should try to do something productive today; need to pick up my sewing area from Krampus project to have space for whatever comes next.
Later: Listened to my Accordion Babes CD, then to some Culann's Hounds, and to a Chieftan's CD. Picked up sewing stuff and then tried out another large doll head pattern. Pattern is still just a bit too small to be right for Paisley, but I'm going to use it as a practice head for soft sculting features. Think I like the Making Memories head, with more pattern pieces and thus more shape in a larger size, best for Paisley.
