Do you ever get that complete feeling of ennui, whereby absolutely nothing gets you motivated?
I am currently going through this, along with Shell. She is working and sleeping and thats about it (along with some eating, etc). We have both got into a rut of working, etc and are hardly ever going out anymore. It sucks for both of us! Added to this are my issues with the kids, the IR debt situation and I'm just completely disillusioned with most things. Trying to talk about it is very difficult, but I often find writing my feelings down is both theraputic and helps me get everything sorted out logically.
Work is "kinda" interesting at the moment and I am doing things that are not normally in my job role. But I seem to have lost interest in the whole environment. I'm tempted to just jack it all in and go and be a green-grocer or something. Well, maybe something less stressful. Recommendations?
My job is secure (guaranteed job for 2 years and 3 yrs income) but I seem to have lost interest in the whole "computing" scene. I'm spending time getting to grips with DVD Authoring, etc and that seems pretty fun - but limited. I don't know what I want to do - where to go with my career, etc.
Home life with Shell is still good - but with her working and being so tired and stressed (not to mention me), we seem to be missing out on "us" time. We haven't seen any live music for while (which is something we both love), although I do have tickets for something special later this month.
I've pretty much got a small break sorted out for us (yay for Expedia) and I think that should be enough to recharge and enjoy ourselves. We also have this weekend off and I'm tempted to turn my phone off, turn the computers off and dedicate myself to me and mine for a couple of days. Pick Shell up from work on Friday and have a rip-roaring weekend doing the stuff that we want to do (which will of course include visiting the ducks at Backwell Nature Reserve).
But we will probably end up too tired and spend most of the weekend trying to wind down before it all starts again on Monday...
I think I might cook a nice meal for Shell over the weekend - flowers, candles, a little pressie (all wrapped up). That will chill me out - and it will certainly brighten up her current fug that she's in.
Still, it's only Wednesday, so maybe the rest of the week will improve and everything will come up smelling of roses.
I saw my sister and nephew yesterday morning when I dropped round a DVD for him. I gotta spend more time with them, but life is so hectic. My BIL and I chatted about kit cars for a while and he pointed me to Marlin Cars. He is running the club now (or something) and the coolest thing they do is the 5exi. Oh for some money...
