I feel in-between right now. Which, if I were to track my moods over the past couple years that I’ve been writing this blog, is probably how I *always* feel after finishing some sort of project.
This time the mood is rather mild because the “project” really was only a week’s worth of work 😛 But, I had just found a rhythm with the work, and now that rhythm is gone…and whenever that happens, I seem to drift for a day or two. Today was one of those days.
I was going to start some Netflix work, but there were hangups in getting me started (hangups that still need to be resolved in the AM, actually)…and then building business took a rather large part of my day. It will tomorrow and Wednesday, too, unfortunately, but that’s what it is folks. THAT I can live with, actually. It’s the nebulousness of what my next project is, what my next goal is, that’s the problem.
In microcosm, I remember this feeling every time I’d finish a video when I was doing editing work for study.com as my main job. It was so crucial for me to not stop what I was doing once I finished a video and to get the next one started at least 10 or 20%…if I stopped clean at the end of a video, I would inevitably spin my wheels before starting the next one. But, if I started the next video immediately and got a bit into it, then I always came back to the editing raring to go. Perhaps I should apply that self-knowledge to these bigger finish lines?
I think I shall.
The Warriors won tonight. They’re the first team in NBA history to go 12-0 to start the playoffs. That’s pretty incredible. Everyone hates then, I know they do…but they’re my team this time. I get to love them. Adore them. I hope they go 16-0. Bring on the Cavs (I’m assuming that’s whose going to win the Eastern finals).
The Ho is outside right now signing and learning “Can’t Help Falling in Love with You” right now in the living room. We sang it together a few times on the couch before I came back to get ready for bed. It made me think about how when I was in High School, I was part of this vocal group called “Limited Edition” and one of our fundraisers for competition trips was to do these singing Valentine’s. Kids would sign up and pay us to go and sing a love song to their girlfriend, boyfriend, friend or crush, and we’d give them a rose. I think you could buy chocolates too? But, it was awesome to go and sing those – the person receiving the singing Valentine was always so embarrassed. We’d do it in the middle of class. It was the best.
And I love that song; it’s one of the best love songs every written I think. Hearing her out there singing it makes me love my wife very, very much right now. I LOVE YOU BOO.
That’s all for tonight. Tomorrow is going to be a solid, productive day 🙂
