Solvent Problemer

I'm a pretty easygoing person, until I'm not.  At the moment, I am feeling kind of extra "not".  I have myself to blame.  I made a mid-grade importantish decision that I probably should have made differently.  Sorry to be deliberately vague.  Not that sorry.

Anyway, I will figure all that out.

Do you ever have those periods of time where you think you might be wearing the wrong skin?  Or, you're outgrowing your current skin.

I think snakes have the right idea - shed completely once a year and start again.  Maybe I need to head back down to that Korean Spa in Atlanta and re-exfoliate, because I feel weird and off.  Or maybe I need water, lotion, fruit, and rest.  I don't know.

Here's what I really need.  A vacation.  Something with salt water, sunlight, lots of flora and fauna.  Excursions and rest in equal measure.  And I need someone else making all the decisions.  Cooking, driving, planning, cleaning - for the vacation.  In my real walking around life, I don't mind being the decision maker, chief cook, bottle washer.  In fact, I'm pretty doggone good at that.

Sometimes, I just want someone else to do all the thinking and let me zone out for a few days.

Meanwhile, the weather here in Nashville is starting to get springy, and I'm a fan.  Piper enjoys hanging out on the deck and soaking it in.  I gave her a bath over the weekend - she's going to need her annual haircut in a few weeks - just as it has grown back all perfect and delightful.  That's how it is, sometimes.  Bummer, dudes.

Speaking of haircuts - I'm due for one in four days, and I cannot wait.  My hair grows fast, and there's a lot of it.  Almost as much on my head as goes down the shower drain each wash.

You know what - I don't have much to say today that isn't kind of cranky.  I think I may just take my ball and go home.  We'll try this again once I get my mind right.  Well, right-er.


Wait, there's a ball available?  I'll take it.

I know what you mean about feeling like being in the wrong skin. Although right now I'm in more of a period of everything seeming like it's pretty good and for some reason I feel like that means everything's about to go spectacularly wrong. At least the weather's nice. And here's something fun: I had a pet snake. He'd shed three or four times a year sometimes. I was probably overfeeding him but he was healthy and happy so it was all good.
