Time for tea

I was really tempted just to go to bed out of it after TKD tonight but I have talked myself into reading and having some tea.

If I was just super tired, going to bed would make sense but I’m not that kind of tired, I’m something else.

What that is, I don’t know, but choosing an enjoyable and relaxing activity is definitely the way to soothe whatever is going on for me.

An artsy little reminder

It’s ok not to be ok but it’s also possible that you are more ok than you realize.

More tidying

Yesterday I was concerned about whether I was gonna be able to sleep in my bed because I had so many papers lying around. I did figure out how to get everything put away and was able to sleep.

And then I had some bad news last night and today I wasn’t fully functional. So, instead of trying to be productive or get things done I decided to just keep puttering along with my files and with the drawers in my desk. I feel pretty good about how it’s all getting sorted.

I think the thing that I have finally learned is that my desk and files need to be set up in the way that I use them not in the way they look best or the way that they best organized but actually in the way that I use them.

That’s a bit tricky because I’m not completely sure how I use things until I’m using them but I guess the key here is to be willing to keep changing them to keep adjusting them until I figure it out .
