unmotivated

things are really not so good at work (major communications craziness here) and i am doing very little about it. i can’t quite motivate myself to get the stuff done i need to for the contract ratification vote on monday, nor can i get an answer from my boss about leave requests for union business – i’m in that sorta underwhelmed state – have a lot to do, have given up caring for the moment.

this morning i have:

altered and printed up images to use for cards

made a new desktop image

ended up in a back and forth email conversation with someone who also lives on the sunshine coast and who also blogs

talked to my friend aaron who has now moved to la (he called me on his way back to dc)

and a few other small work-related things. it is now noon and i have a lot of work to get done but still i am not moving very fast to do them. and – i need to leave early to get books that i ordered from the library (for a paper i am writing).

in defense of my lack of motivation i will say that i am feeling quite ill today, and the last couple of days have been pretty low (monthly cycle – no clinical issues) to the degree that i want to cancel my trip to victoria this weekend….. but….. i think going over to the island for the night will be good – a chance to see some old friends including anna who may be going away again for a long time. am not visiting family on this trip as it will be for one night only…..

am also trying to figure out whether to visit aaron in january, meet him in the bay area in february (and visit other friends), or get him to come here for a long weekend…. between work, union, and getting my wisdom teeth removed in january – the new year is already shaping up busy…..
