I&#8217;m anxious for things to start WORKING. Things at work are kind of in a suspended state, waiting for things to happen and be approved and waiting for the next project to hit. We&#8217;re also waiting on so many things with work &#8211; if we&#8217;re moving, what happens next, etc.  Then, most of the projects at home are done &#038; I&#8217;ve been a little OCD about keeping up with the dishes &#038; tidying up. It feels like a combination of calm-before-the-storm, peaceful-moment\/impending-something-or-other-undefined, and I HATE IT, because I know I&#8217;m suffering from the delusion that if I can control every minute detail within arm&#8217;s reach, then perhaps the rug won&#8217;t be yanked out from under me when I&#8217;m not looking.  It makes me snappish, which feels inconsistent with having a clean house, laundry underway, projects at work done, things humming along. Some might say I&#8217;m borrowing trouble; I should just enjoy the peace and live in the moment. Some might say I&#8217;m a control freak. Some might be really right on all counts.<\/p>\n<p>Excellent. Something new (well, it&#8217;s really an old theme) for me to work on. I&#8217;ve never been good at letting go &#8211; of things that make me mad, of things that hurt, of things and people I love and treasure. I keep hearing the words, &#8220;I just don&#8217;t know&#8221; in my head and it&#8217;s my own purgatory, my own hamster wheel, my waiting room for what will unfold.  My goal today is to turn it off, shut the door, move along.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I feel like I&#8217;m in the Land of Indecision and Delays; my dad started chemo on Friday, and it&#8217;s hitting him pretty hard, very tired &#038; he was already weakened from all the radiation.
