Food (yesterday): Good – had the planned bkfast, snack, lunch, and moderate dinner.

Exercise: (this a.m.): Again, short but good (stepper).

Sleep: (last night): Better. Not enough, but good quality. Hard time falling asleep. Woke up before alarm.

Work (today): Mixed. Had a meeting cancelled that felt disrespectful. Trying to process a weird interaction at a networking event. I wish I could shake that kind of stuff off quicker. Found out that an “engagement” survey I took put me in the “disengaged” category. That surprised me, and I don’t necessarily agree with their conclusion regarding the attributes of an engaged employee. Its true I have ambivalent feelings, but I don’t ever not do my job. I may not spend every ounce of discretionary effort that I have, but I maintain that that isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

The rest of Life: Aunt Flo(w) surprised me yesterday. It explains a chromic headache that I thought was allergies, maybe some of the sleep stuff, and some of the panicky/raw feelings about the kids. It might also explain the paragraph above. Well, maybe not completely explain because all feelings have a chemical/hormonal basis, not just those that occur during menstruation, but it may influence how I respond to them. Not sure.
