Missing Inaction.

Because, yes, I *am* missing inaction. Not that I regret any of the current action on-going in my life, just that sometimes I like to chill out and do nothinginparticular without feeling guilt about it. Lately, things have been quite busy. And while I have certainly partaken in my fair share of nothinginparticular, it's always the guilt-laden variety.

But exciting times, as always! I have moved into a wonderful new apartment. I am working quite hard on my thesis. I am working quite hard on my final paper for my Development and Community Psychology class. I am working quite hard on... work. And plus I'm going to Seattle for a week. Leaving tonight. Okay, maybe that's not too many things. Maybe I can have my action and my inaction too. Guilt-free.

But not today.

Today I'm feeling the weight of the work I have left to do this semester and the week I'll be missing while at a conference in Seattle. Today I'm reminding myself that I tend to get things done even when quite busy, and that I also tend to get things done early because I hate butting up against deadlines. Today I'm reminding myself that it's okay to not get things done early; it's okay to butt up against deadlines.

The good news is that my wrist is pretty much better. Still some slight flexibility issues, and still an interesting shade of fluorescent purple where my veins zigzag across, but typing is no problem and lifting is no problem. Push-ups? Slight problem. But that too should pass.

I'll try to come back next week with some good stories and some pics of the new place and my new roommates. But for now, I'm gonna go get some things done so that I have slightly less to hang over me while I enjoy learning new and interesting things in a new and interesting city.

Have a good one.
