Feelin’ good
I hadn’t planned on writing this post today, but as I was walking from the train station to work, I realized how Good I feel. It may sound strange, but for the past couple of months, I have felt tired, and I do mean tired on every weekday (I usually feel pretty rested on Saturdays).
So why do I feel good?
Perhaps it is because for the first time in a couple of months, the sun has been up and shining when I’ve gone out to my car in the morning. You know what this means, right? This means it is going to continue getting lighter in the morning! And that fact, in and of itself, is probably a large, ginormous, reason that I feel good.
Perhaps it is because I expected to sleep terribly and be depressed. I had kind of decided this weekend that I wasn’t going to write about this next part, but here I am, writing anyway.
How to put this.
hmmm…
Well, basically, HB and I did some real soul-searching with regards to our careers and marriage and agreed that he will take a promotion that is requiring him to be gone from home for a week or two at a time, and then to be home, and work from home, for a week or two. He will continue doing this back-and-forth schedule for about half a year, until we can both work in the same city again. And yesterday afternoon, I took him to the airport so that he can start this new job. So, I was expecting to be even more depressed today than usual. Usual, meaning that I probably have a hint of seasonal affective disorder in that I get really tired and depressed in January, February, and March.
I expected to sleep terribly and be incredibly lonely, and while I am lonely, I am also very busy, so it distracts me from my loneliness. As for the sleeping, I went out and bought an electric blanket, now that I won’t have my lil’ heater next to me in bed anymore to keep me warm. And I slept remarkably well.
So, here I am, on a Monday morning, no less, feeling pretty chipper.
And I didn’t freeze my patootie walkin’ in today either, which has probably contributed to my good mood.
You know, I think that another (big) part of my upbeat mood is that I am excited for HB. He has needed more challenge at work for a while now, and he is definitely going to get it with his new job. So, part of my good mood, is I think, knowing that he gets to have this new opportunity.
Kinda nice, isn’t it?
