ok, so this is my first post. I've been feeling sort of overwhelmed recently. A couple months ago, I was depressed because there wasn't enough excitement in my life. Now there may be more than I can handle.
General Projects / Activities I am currently engaged in:
point83 - this is lots of fun. partying and riding bikes.
adopting Una - a wonderful mutt who makes me happy. I wish I could devote more time to her.
volunteering with People for Puget Sound - generally doing photo projects right now. this is fun, and will hopefully lead to some connections for paid work in conservation/restoration/sustainable construction/sustainable energy.
Construction Management Certificate at UW Extention Program. I actually really like both my classes this semester, and am interested in the classwork. Construction Scheduling and Construction Safety. Right now I'm a bit overwhelmed by the time commitment this homework will require.
Moving. I'm moving this week, and it' fucking up my whole Chi. In general, I feel really positive about the move, and I like my new housemates, there's just so much to do to make this house Una-friendly (er).
I've been having a huge amount of trouble staying focused at work recently (e.i. writing here during the work day), and have considered going back to Ritalin use. I have a hard time taking this idea seriously though, because of the long list of side effects I've experienced in the past.
Pros:
increased concentration at work.
increased energy and clarity at work ( really? )
general increase in my career success
increased energy (?)
wight loss
Cons:
huge increase in neurotic OCD habbits
insomnia
weight loss
eventual depression (?)
emotionally erratic (?)
lowered libido
I should look into it though, they may have improved the quality of the drug in the 7 years since I've taken it.
