Break

I don’t know if it’s start of tax season, or just January busy-ness or depression over the leaders of this country — probably all three — but I haven’t felt like doing Small Joys. Maybe part of the problem is I picked a bunch for our trip to Vegas and then didn’t do them and I’ve been trying to squeeze them in this  post-vacation week, and they have ended up feeling like chores not joys.

So I will get back to it later. I need fewer assigned tasks. Trying to clear the To do list.

I’m bummed today because I’m working at a place that now has Fox News on in the lobby. Why did I stay. I’ll tell them why I’m leaving in May: Fox News shows their values.

Also it’s cold and *wet.*. And I haven’t been sleeping enough. Maybe I should let rest of today's To Do list go, and head to bed and watch Bones.

I’ve gathered my postcards to one spot. I think I’ll start writing postcards with silly comments instead of on social media.

But for now, violin, fold laundry, watch Bones. And screens off at 10. A good night’s sleep will help.

EDITED TO ADD: I let go the Small Joys I hadn’t done yet. Then found one I had inadvertently done and thought of a new one for tonight. Spontaneity helps a little. I’m back!
