Somewhat self-pitying entry
Jan. 14th, 2007 09:26 pmI'm somewhat depressed that I didn't get this job that I thought I was very qualified for and seemed to have a good chance of getting.
I haven't had much energy recently. I think my thyroid is down a little; I also think some unhappiness with my job situation is a factor. I spent much of Saturday cocooned in my bed, watching DVDs and trying to convince myself to take a shower so I could run errands and go over to A.'s before the sun went down. In all fairness, I did have an errand-packed week. Still, when the weather is cold, and your apartment isn't always that well heated, it's often hard to convince your body to get out of the lovely warm bed and soft, warm fleece p.j.s.
I also think lack of exercise is a problem. The problem with that: I get off work at 5:30, and am usually hungry by 6:00. Also I don't want to walk home from the gym after it's dark, and this time of the year it gets really dark early. Plus there are errands to run and evenings to spend with A., and, well... it's hard. I could solve the problem with a car, but I don't really want to get a car living where I currently live, without a garage, in a neighborhood with a lot of larceny and car break-ins. Ye-arg. Things to solve.
I will start taking an evening class in Intro Psych at the U this Wednesday. I've looked through the textbook, and I think I'll really like the subject matter, but I'm worried about the amount of energy and time I'll have to put into it. The best case scenario is that adding this to my schedule will energize me to get off my tuchis. I hope so.
I'm also planning a trip back to the Bay Area in the short term, in the hope that that too will energize me.
