9:11 am - Snow day
|
Son and husband home from school. Trying to balance getting work done and kidtime since I have him here.
Life is in a slow kind of flux, and I'm not really sure where I'm going next. But I'm moving, and that's a good thing.
If I were to start posting real content here again, would anyone be reading?

4:07 pm - Life with kid, part 372 or so
|
So, our new neighborhood has a lot of deer. A LOT of deer, brave enough around people that they are in the street and on the lawns and pretending to play soccer on people's driveways. We can see them though the windows into the little wild strip in our back yard most of the day.
R. went to play out front yesterday, and was outraged to step into a pile of deer droppings.
"Why do they have to poop in the front yard? Can't they just go in the back yard?"
Sarcastic mom (that's me, of course) responds: "How are we supposed to tell them to do that? Make a sign?"
R. usually does not understand sarcasm all that well, and also likes to call my bluffs whenever possible. Nevertheless, I was still surprised to find this attached to our front fence, later in the evening:
By the way, R. gave me permission to post this here, but not Facebook, "because LiveJournal has 34 thousand users but Facebook has 33 million users". Where he gets his statistics from, I have no idea.

7:35 am - Figuring out the new flow of life
|
7:30 AM.
Walked the boy to the bus stop, kissed both partners goodbye and sent them off to work. Too early to make phone calls. Probably neither the right time to start scrubbing the floors nor to start drinking. Feels a little ambitious to get right to work considering my schedule's not all that full right now, and a little unambitious to just start reading the internet.
If I were a "going to the gym" type person, I suppose it might be a good time to do that.
I am not a fan of unscheduled time at 7:30 am yet.

6:10 pm - Ice Cream Friends

 projectmothra and I will be up in the mountains this weekend. If you'll be there too, and you know us, I'd appreciate it if you were willing to 1) help me keep an eye on him and 2)explicitly make a point to socialize/reality check with me.
I'm in a pretty bad space in terms of medication adjustment for depression/social anxiety, as well as trying to navigate a house sale and move. If it weren't for the fact that R. really really is looking forward to this, I'd be skipping it, but I can't. None of the rest of the family is coming, so I'm just crossing my twitchy fingers and hoping it will all be okay.

8:22 am - Social media and social anxiety
|
Reading things like Facebook/Twitter lately seems to both lull me into thinking I'm having passive interactions with people and I'm not, and depress me because I see that other people I know socialize with each other, help each other with projects and problems, and otherwise are easy parts of each other's lives.
And more and more I realize that I just don't know how to do that at all.
And when I see so many long distances friends? Acquaintances? People I used to know? come to New York or even up to Westchester to do something and then they write what an awesome time they had, when I didn't even know they were here...I feel so unimportant, so disconnected, so lost.
I'm having some pretty serious bouts of depression and social anxiety, which are almost certainly part situational and part endogenous and part me just being whiny and useless. I feel like I'm falling most of the time. But I can't afford to be that way right now; there's a lot of organization and competence that needs to happen or things are just going to fall apart.
I'm not sure what exactly I want to say about that, except that maybe if you are local, please reach out anyway, even if I'm acting kind of weird. It would mean a lot.
