declaration

Today, I will begin holding myself a little more accountable for my well being. That's just something I needed to say.

I won tickets to see David Sedaris speak yesterday at the Kentucky Center - I went with my extremely upbeat friend Natalie, and I must say that it was exactly what I needed. David Sedaris is adorable, clever, hilarious, and all sorts of other endearing adjectives.

I am beginning to experience exhaustion. The worst part is that Monday mornings are my worst days, since I am transitioning from working all weekend, and trying to segue back into the academic routine. It is just awful! Being on the downward slope of the second half of fall semester I am finding myself growing miserable and apathetic at times. Not cool.

How can I perk myself up?

--Go for walks
--Get back into swimming mode (it has been too long!)
--Stick with eating only what sustains and nurtures - simple, whole, plant-based foods.
--Spend five minutes picking up the apartment - seeing clutter and messes only puts my mood in a downward spiral.
--Listen to that which inspires and drives me - Massive Attack, Tiniwaren, Tricky...
--Don't beat myself up for needing to take a morning to myself.
--Disarm that compulsive voice that says, "Its only money! Whatever! Today is today, and is the only day you should worry about!"

... I'm going to stop before this becomes too macabre.

I'm just so tired. And tired of worrying about things.
