To borrow ommkarja's phrase, weather in brainland is variable with a strong possibility of thundershowers. No, not thundershowers; those are commonplace. Hail, that's better.

First off, I've been having free-floating anxieties all of yesterday. Last night it rained and that seems to have taken the edge off the one I'm in now, but it's still there. I'm much, much better than I ever used to be when it comes to being at the mercy of the weather, but it still affects me and I wish I knew how to make it stop.

I realize how terrified I am of unstructured time. You'll never see me singing the praises of Eris: I'm all about scheduling and rules. These days when I have "nothing" to do but work on dissertation or paperwork scare the pants off me because there's nothing regulating *when* to do it, and there are so many distractions around to boot.

I'd never make it working at home, that's for sure.

While at the gym yesterday, the temp agency called with a two-week job. During the time I was away from my phone, someone else got the gig. Sigh. It's not as if I can just not work out, either. So I'm telling myself this is the universe keeping my schedule clear for job interviews, which I probably will have after this weekend, or so I hope.

Enough of this: I'm overdue for Morning Prayer.

Yanno, I /really/ like that metaphor! Currently my brain is experiencing severe dundershowers with stupidity levels gusting to DUH!

Today's mindweather is partly cloudy and some missing. ^_^

At least you won't need to sweat playing Hostess To Evil; March is a no-go. Next scheduled leave timeframe is July, after our NTC rotation. I plan to max out that block (should be a month) and clear a seven-day block for San Diego. Let me know if you're interested. ^_-

July's completely clear. My two weeks at Ft Hunter-Liggett is in June, as is Comic-Con. Fortunately the two don't coincide--whew! I would hate to miss CC again. Consequently, July drill will be one day and if it interferes with your visit I'll just RTS.

Screw that. If Drill Day happens while I'm there, I'll go with. ^_^

Oh! Well, that would be fun! :) Spc. Martin (older than me; prior service) won't let me refer to you as a friend because "he's not your friend, he's some guy who is waiting for you to show him some favour", so you can take that up with him. Martin will want that enemy-dead screensaver, though, so you can charm him with that.

Inform SPC Martin that unless he's survived a Schläger duel and a war zone in his too-long-extended and worthless lifespan, if he ever slights my honor in such a fashion again my "favour" will be to leave him without eyesight.

Schlager duel, no. War zone, very much so, which is why I cut him slack. Your mileage may vary.

...being at the mercy of the weather, but it still affects me and I wish I knew how to make it stop.

Have you tried hunting up ideas on the net? I'm thinking about possible food restrictions or re-ordering of food groups, depending on what the weather is planning? Ratio of carbs to protein, that sort of thing.

It could be worthwhile, or it could just be the delusional ramblings of my weird brain. [That hasn't had any nourishment, even though it's almost 1:45 but, then, I just woke up an hour ago!]

Good luck dealing with it.
And hugs,

If I restrict my food any further, I'll starve to death. Restricting food is how I've improved thus far, but I'm at the absolute limit of what I can do in that regard.

[helenkacan.livejournal.com]

Okay, possible misunderstanding here. I meant food groups. Like, are carbs better on days when the weather is crappy? Or vice versa? And, though I know you've eliminated wheat (am I right), there are plenty of other carbs. But just my creative rambling. Still, I'm sure somebody's trying to find a connection somewhere.

Hugs and all,
and laundry now!
