Falling behind
Dec. 20th, 2017 07:58 amA few issues mentioned in past entries remain unresolved: ( also others arose. )
Some problems would be easily solved by money. ( Our precarious finances block some solutions. ) However, I am also unproductive: I had been looking forward to taking time off work and I thought that as usual I would rest a bit then feel inclined to do things but I am not ending up feeling rested and energetic.
The cat's scratching pad's a good example of my lack of productivity: ( also I don't seem to read books any more. ) I also do not have much energy for any remotely challenging kind of social interaction: I find myself inclined to socially withdraw again; I certainly won't be extending my online presence beyond its current low level.
Following the news even lightly doesn't help my mood either. ( Governments seem more deceitful than compassionate. )
In the background are other concerns. For example, ( health and parenting. )
In general I don't feel as if I am seeing straight: I can handle the day-to-day concerns but my head does not feel clear enough to see above those. I had hoped that the time off work over the holidays would afford me opportunity to see a way past some of the above, maybe a change in perspective, but ( not so far. )
Update: For context, I should mention that this entry isn't asking for help; I've gotten through worse. I just think that it is good to note and share such things.
