I was instructed to start cleaning out my desk today.
Apparently they need space for another desk in my area and since I'm going to part-time it makes the most sense to move my stuff around.
Sure. I can see the sense in that. But I thought I would have more time... I thought I could just take a little home here and there; go through old paperwork and the layers of accumulation slowly.
Nope.
I am finding all kinds of things... some boring, some emotionally charged and some surrounded by mouse poo. I am taking a break now, trying to convince myself that the headache that I have is NOT an early symptom of the hantavirus. Stupid mouse-filled workspace. Ugh.
I have washed my hands eighty times in the last hour alone.
And I am SO tired! I have really gotten my sleep mojo back. Yesterday I slept for about 3 hours in the afternoon and then had no trouble falling asleep last night. I knew I was only going to work a half-day today so I didn't set my alarm and I didn't wake up until 11. So I have basically been asleep for 13 of the last 24 hours. That can't be good. And I could sleep now. If I didn't know how much mouse poo was all over the station I would just curl up under my desk. There's room now! I've been cleaning!!
Any other day and I would just sneak out the back door and take a nap.
But it's Wednesday and Wednesday we swim... so as soon as the Idiot Step-Mother drops Bean off we're going to mom's to get ready.
It's cooler today and I am really looking forward to some float time.
I'm sure it's all the transition stuff that is going on this month, but there is something I can't quite name that is nagging at me.
I feel like I need to slow way down and make sure that everything that I am doing and saying and accepting is really what I want to do and say and accept. Does that make sense?
Everything is just moving so fast, and the way I feel about things seems to change in unexpected ways - and then change back. It's weird to have to think of my own mind as an unreliable narrator.
Ugh. Enough of that. Back to the mouse poo!

I Hate Mouse Poo

Don't worry about the hantavirus. The mice in Kansas are the wrong kind, they don't carry the virus. So, go float in the pool, sleep well, and feel free to let at least one worry go.
