Sometimes blogging seems like so much work...

The page sits in front of you waiting to be filled, the cursor blinks mockingly.

I am typing on a new keyboard that Husband won in a raffle at a LAN party (he is not quite the king of nerds... but he's at least a Duke or something.)  It makes a pleasant sound as I type.

I am making Scalloped Potatoes and Ham for dinner, as we have plenty of potatoes and a little turkey ham that is getting old.  I've never made it before, so we'll see.  I have been in a mood recently.  I find that when I am in the middle of a lot of things for theater, I eat like crap and don't really have energy to do the housey/wifey things that I normally somewhat enjoy.  I think I have officially overcommited myself this spring, and am looking forward to the Delta show being done so I can relax and enjoy the little parts that I have in the other two shows.

I need to make a new house rule: I can do ONE volunteer project a season.  I may have accidentally become one of those people who are involved in everything and are always complaining about their lack of time.

Things that make me feel good:
Photography
Reading
Shopping
Hiking
Music
Cooking
Good Friends
Board Games
Work (usually)
Gardening
Watching shows or movies with Husband
Travel
Design
Playing with Dog
Being in a show that I love
Volunteering
Jesus

Things that make me feel drained:
Costuming
Eating Crap
Politics
Dealing with people that I don't like, or are high drama
TV on All the Time
Constant Cleaning
Being Repetitive
Bad Weather
Internet Fights
Being Lazy
Sleeping too Much
Having too many balls in the air
Restless Dog

Many of my problems are self-created (in fact, all of them but the weather and the constant cleaning... one belongs to colliding weather fronts/God, the other to messy Husband and Housemate.)  When I think of one of the most important things about life, it's to be active.  Not physically (although yes, probably that too), but to take your own life by the wheel and really live it.  It's too easy to be lulled into the day-to-day drudgery... work, home, TV, repeat...

My goal is to kick this week's ass.  It's gonna happen.  :)
