Feb. 26th, 2015 10:08 amIt amuses me that my T pass showed up the day after I took the ice off the sidewalk, even though I know that one has nothing to do with the other. At least my commuting routine is back to normal, meaning I can throw the wallet containing the T pass in whatever bag I'm leaving the house with and not think about it any further than that. The commute itself still doesn't have a "normal"; either it takes less time than usual or it takes twice as long as usual. It all depends on who's on the road where. This morning there was practically no traffic; yesterday it was backed up all over Rte 9. You just can't ever tell any more.
I forget the conventional wisdom on how long it takes a routine to get established, but it's been a week and so far dealing with the night guard hasn't been all that bad (except it still tastes like plastic, which isn't my favorite flavor). Every morning I wake up and wonder why I can't feel my teeth with my tongue, and then I remember. I guess the night guard must be doing what it's supposed to, because I wake up every morning with major dents in it that would otherwise be force applied directly to my teeth.
Unfortunately, despite the good stuff, I am absolutely out of morale, and I don't know where I can get any. Food doesn't help, and retail therapy doesn't help (I bought myself some new earrings last weekend), and my embroidery project has stalled in a place I'm not sure I can fix in a way I'll be happy with. April is too far away yet for me to get excited about traveling, although I am still glad I'm going. I think part of it is the fact that we got Concentrated Winter dumped all over us this month and now there's no end in sight (seriously; the weather guy I tend to believe says it's going to be colder than normal through at least mid-March). I'm afraid it's going to be cold until Memorial Day, or later because it started later. *whimper*
I think tonight I need to go home and be Sat On and Purred At for a while. That may not help with the morale in the "it's good to get out of bed and go earn money" sort of way, but it does help in the "appreciated for being around" sort of way.
