September 15: Monday

[kinetic_elaboration]

I never have anything interesting to say on quiet Mondays. I just want to cross this thing off my list so I can get back to sleep faster. I did as I usually do on the first day of the week: I went to work, I worked on my little projects–today, without much distraction except for some chatting with my student and a very silly conversation at the end of the day–and then I went home and turned my brain off for a while because ugggggh.

I should probably go back to, like, trying to have a normal Monday and making my ‘brain off’ day be Thursday but I’m too used to it. It’s probably not the worst of my habits right now. (Or is it? Is it the wellspring from which all of my other bad habits extend?) I just feel like coming from either an exciting weekend or a very solitary weekend back into the whole work atmosphere, whether it be very busy with people or very focused on work projects, always sort of turns my around, makes me want to just chill out and unplug and unwind and be LESS of myself for a while, and then that process evens me out and I go back to normal.

Anyway, that’s all I’ve been doing after work. I have some big things I need to do this week. I’m somehow not worried about any of them. One is that I NEED to go grocery shopping but unfortunately it’s also very rainy this week. So I’m not sure how that will work.

I would like to go back to caring about writing and/or FALL STUFF in and around everything else, but… we’ll see. I don’t know. If I think about it all too much it’s going to seem impossible.
