Just wanted to say hi. You'd be proud of me - after an incredibly rough week, I finished a big chunk of work that had accumulated around the time my W filed for D. I just could never seem to get on top of it, but I finally did so - through sheer determination it seems like 'cause I sure had a hard time staying focused.
I'm not out of the woods yet, but I think the worst is over. You should be glad that you didn't let your work slide so far.
How are you doing? For me, things have taken what I initially thought was a hopeful turn, but now I realize I was just reading too much into things and have slid back into that obsessing a little bit phase.
Anyway, didn't stop by just to talk about myself. Hope you're doing well. I know tomorrow is Friday and that's always a little rough for you, so why not go out to a movie or something? Or go browse through a used bookstore after work? I can't remember the book title, but there was a book I once read that was meant to inspire creativity. One of the things you had to do was take yourself out on "creativity dates." This meant to go do something alone - like browse through a bookstore, go to a museum, see a film - but do it alone and try to form your own opinions without checking them against someone else.
I don't know why, but I've started applying that to myself as a means to get through the D. Maybe it's crazy, but maybe it'll help heal. Just a thought.
I'm going to Scotland tomorrow so won't be in touch for awhile, but I hope you're doing well.
