Life’s Lessons: A To-Do About Lists

I would say TGIF but it actually doesn’t make a huge amount of difference to me these days what day it is. Still, I’m sort of glad it’s Friday, because I’ve learned some stuff.

  1. My to-do list might have been ambitious this week.
  2. That might be the reason you’ve had to suffer through so many not-really-a-post posts this week. And jokes about gorilla nostrils.
  3. Sorry about that.
  4. There are good reasons though!
  5. I am now off my anti-anxiety med. (Ha! Take that, mean psychiatrist. I can so do it.)
  6. That process has involved some side effects though. Things I’m not fond of.
  7. Like headaches. Right behind the eyes. Pretty much all the time.
  8. And sweats. For three nights in a row I woke up in what can only be described as a slip ‘n’ slide. (That might be TMI. Too late…)
  9. Remind me not to use body butter the next time I’m trying to get off medication.
  10. The nights are fine now but I’m hot ALL THE TIME.
  11. I don’t like being hot.
  12. I don’t like being jittery either.
  13. But I don’t care (as long as I don’t stay this way forever) because I’m not sedated all the time anymore. Whee!
  14. Another good reason is that I’ve been working on some stuff for Band Back Together.
  15. And I’m also a contributor to something that will be making its big debut very soon. Very, very excited about this one.
  16. Plus I still have a kid and, whaddya know, I kind of like spending time with him (and the husband) when I’m not feeling crazy.
  17. So yeah, I had to let something go and I chose this dear blog of mine this week. Because I’m selfless like that.
  18. Speaking of selfless, I may have spent some time reminding people to vote for me for this. So, um, please vote for me. Until August 3rd.

So that’s why I haven’t been doing my normal writing here, though I do have a couple of posts in my head that I want to write. Maybe this weekend. Then next week I’m going to BlogHer ’11 (wahoo!) and planning to participate in the #SummerBlogSocial.

How am I going to manage when I go back to work?! (Oh…my boss reads this blog. Just kidding, RB!)

Happy weekend, all.
