Disorientation...

[msfledermaus]

The daylight savings change hasn't been kind to me lately. Usually I'm delighted to sleep in an extra hour and whatnot, but this time it's just a bit of mental whiplash. Apparently I'm not alone in this respect. Everybody at work is crabby and sleepy and bewildered along with me. At least we've got each other:/

Sometimes I wake up and am immediately confused..."Where am I? What's going on? Aren't I supposed to be married or something? Did I forget something important?" And then things come back into focus. I'm here, where I am. Everything's cool, just not exactly um...normal..whatever "normal" is this week. This week apparently normal is martial law and riots in Pakistan and arguing about waterboarding as torture. Yeesh.

I've been unpacking old yarn projects at home, wondering if I can finish one, contemplating ripping out another one that's half-done. It's strange the little time-warp I feel when I look at the pieces..."Oh yeah, this was spring of last year, when I was all about the color green!"

I have an old aquaintance using some of my artwork for a thing of his...I'm actually kind of annoyed by it. The jerk could of at least asked me first:(

The noise in the breakroom is driving me crazy. I gotta go somewhere quiet for a while...

I'm still feeling the change to DST but it's a good feeling. I'm so ready to get up in the morning (late as I do that) and the day feels good.
I'll be kind of sorry when I settle in and it all feels normal.

I usually have ways to adapt to the late darkness, but they're not helping much...Maybe it's just living in a new place, I dunno...

I get that 3AM disorientation sometimes when I wake up in a strange room on the road...

Next time you have a nightmare on wedding street, please invite me to the imaginary wedding, but I have to warn you I might cry and drink all the punch...

Art theft is always bad; borrowing without permission isn't much better. When my painting was stolen, it took me a few months to take it as a compliment.

My wake up trauma this week began with the death of my Timex watch. It had faithfully chimed me awake for 10 years. Now I have to use my cell phone to wake up!

How did I get this bouquet?

I should try to have a nice consensual wedding dream and invite all my friends...maybe it'll just be a fun excuse for people to dress up in something pretty and eat silly h'ors d'oevres and have flowers. (Uhhh I think that's called a "Fancy dress garden party") I'll have to have someone guard the punchbowl so they can fish you out of it, head-first, if that's the way you're gonna be:)

Sorry I missed you last week...things got so busy and weird, I never *did* catch up. *hangs head* I'm too damn busy lately for everything, and it's drving me nuts. It makes me want to curl up on the floor and just scream sometimes. Maybe I need a vacation, I dunno. Anyway, I'm so sorry I missed you and the timing just kinda sucked:(

Stop stressing, puppy... Good puppy (feeds good puppy freeze-dried liver treat).

Have you see the Kahlo, yet? I'm trying to extend my work trip so that I can stay over Thursday the 15th. Then I can go to the Frida 'xhibit after werkies. There must be a client I need to meet with Friday morning...

YAY! I WILL be in town Thursday evening. I'll be in my Mpls. offcie by 3 PM today (if you still have my card). I'd love to say howdy over sushi or something or something in NE and then go to the exhibit from 7-9ish. e-Mail me if you get a chance or call my office (763) 551-2452. I think you have my cell No. somewhere... I'm going to be in and out Thursday, but I should be able to get to downtown by 5:30ish.
