A mysterious rejuvenation

[missroserose]

Had a pretty good weekend, all told. Struck a nice balance of getting things done that needed to be done, and getting some relaxation time in as well. It's amazing how much good that can do in terms of revitalizing one's outlook on life.

Helps also that I've been feeling rather more alive and interested in things lately than I have in quite some time. Wish I had even a foggy notion of what's caused that - hanging around feeling stifled sucks. But so far as I can tell, nothing's changed except my mood. Even the weather's still grey and oppressive; it just doesn't bother me so much. Strange.

I think I'm going to make a birthday-season resolution for this year. Specifically, I'm going to make an effort to spend more time with friends. Even if I'm not doing theatre, just getting out of the house and talking to people will help, I think.

It's hard to tell because my weight fluctuates a lot, but I do believe the bathroom scale is telling me that I've lost a few pounds. I've never been good at gauging my weight from my appearance, but Brian says he's noticed a difference - and I was just thinking recently that I've been needing to hike up my jeans more often (right when I thought I'd found a pair that fit my waist properly!). I guess the fact that I've been practically living on salads and Subway sandwiches (with whole-grain bread and lots of spinach and onions and tomatoes heaped on, naturally) has helped.

Here's to feeling happier and more alive. May it last longer than the sensation of stagnation did.

I'll give at least some of the credit to your increased battery consumption. :)

I think that's more of a symptom than a cause. But it sure doesn't hurt, either way. ;)

Other candidates include: new apartment, getting the bills paid up, female interest and life not finding a fresh supply of new ways to upset things. Many things to not be unhappy about. :)

Bills paid up has helped, even if I'm not saving anywhere near as much as I'd like. Female interest hasn't hurt either, although you'd think I would've started feeling really great a month or so ago if it were that.

It may well be just the last item. It's amazing how much better you feel when it seems like life's finally cutting you a break so you can catch your breath.
