kittydesadeToday's political commentary:
I'd like to say I can blame my current hyperactive fit on the girl scout cookies I ate this morning, but it was six cookies three and a half hours ago and I've been running around the store since then so I have no idea what this is. I have a dire need to calm down, focus, and do one thing and then the next thing and not all the things at once, and it's not happening. Possibly lunch will help.
I got writing done, I got languages somewhat done (my focus kept wandering during Hindi, not sure why because usually I love translating back and forth) and then I went on Twitter again and saw WE WILL NEVER HAVE A DEMOCRATIC ELECTORAL VICTORY AGAIN BECAUSE OF REPUBLICAN GERRYMANDERING WOE and fell into the hole from which there is no escaping. So edits didn't get done. Resting did somewhat get done, but argh.
(And then the hyper got channelled into a Twitter rant on how we just can't build a wall, establish tariffs, and effectively drop out of the global economy because no one can afford the markup those tariffs will generate.)
(Lunch has not yet helped.)
Also not helping is that I keep thinking there's a shitpile of stuff I need to do and things like dentist appointments and theatre goings get in the way. I really, really need to do some house cleaning but I have a dentist appointment tomorrow morning, capoeira tonight, I have to be out of the house by 8.30-8.40 tomorrow which means waking up earlier than usual, I have a dinner date with the boy tonight, I have theatre on Saturday night maybe (Much Ado About Nothing), and and and. I don't know. My head's spinning, I need it to calm down, it's not happening. So I guess it's walking around doing day jobligations until I can breathe again, or doing one small task that I can finish at a time so I don't get distracted and surround myself with quarter-finished things.
I really, really dislike this manic state, I wish I knew what set it off so I could keep from doing it again. ugh.
