flamingswordIn my continuing quest to figure out what the hell I want at any given time, I occasionally list off the things I wanted in a day. Now that the alexithymia is starting to get better and I can name my feelings pretty quickly, it’s time to start pushing to do this more often. What we don’t prioritize we don’t have room for, put the big rocks in first, etc..
5 Things I Wanted Today:
• I wanted warm feet when I would be outside waiting in line at the local DMV, so I wore two pair of socks, my fake-Ugg shearling boots, snow pants, a sweater, a coat and two pairs of gloves, one of which is fleece-lined. I was reasonably toasty except for my ears.
• I wanted fried foods for lunch bc I had been out in the cold (it was like 38 and breezy this morning) so I got tater tots and mozzarella sticks.
• I wanted gel pens and washi tape for note-taking at school, but I don’t really need those? I may get a couple new gel pens at Michael’s before school starts, but if I don’t have washi tape then I don’t really need it. I can just use post-its, I have lots.
• I wanted Facebook to stop being such a pain, but I have no control over whether they use WhatsApp -which I will never get- to authenticate my changing my email address. Grr.
• I wanted to play music when I was waiting in line at the license plate office (which I also did today) because these people’s kids were restless and I was bored. But I didn’t have any music downloads that were kid-appropriate to dance to. Lots of it is stuff like “Bilingual” or Melissa Ferrick’s “Drive” or something. I have plenty of music that’s thinly veiled (or completely unveiled) metaphors for sex. Maybe I should make a “family safe” playlist for these occasions, when I don’t want to get yelled at by strangers, but still want to dance in public?
