I am in the clutches of inertia. I can move a pile of books from one room to another. I can take a dirty dish and load it in the dishwasher. I can post here (repeatedly). Ad nauseum.
But not much else. I am so preoccupied about this darn trip home. My thoughts are scattered like so many outfits tried on only to have torn off again in frustration. Not right, not right. Can't read - argh. Exercise? Forget it. Not interested in eating, thank heavens, so status quo on my flabbiness and weight.
I am tethered and anchored to the ground by my own anxious anticipation. Certain that it will evaporate in about 36 hours, I will be upright instead of horizontal. Propelled forwards instead of in stasis.
For now, though, I am not going anywhere.

it sounds like a typical day in the life of mel.
the only hope I have is to make a list in the morning of what I want to do that day. A small list or I'm setting myself up for failure.
Then I can pace around the room a few times, stand up, sit down, stare into space and <deep breath> do the next thing on the list.
repeat the process.

Life as a nerve ending ( a raw one)
I know it well. Sorry you're having such a rough time. I'm pretty sure I know how you feel.

Hey PC,
Saw the subject and instantly thought "my life exactly", and I haven't factored in the familial component - YUK.
Fortunately I don't have the worries about choice of outfits though. LOL, people here've told me they can tell what day it is by what I'm wearing. Hmmm. I'm beginning to think that song "I'm on the Road to Nowhere" is my personal anthem.
Hope things improve for you soon.
