starting off on a note

[mhalachai]

I'm on vacation for the month of December (it feels like it's been three years since I had a vacation because 2018 is the Bad Place) and so, spurred by the reminder that the building manager is coming by on Monday for the annual inspection, I've been working on a winter apartment cleanse. Chucking out stuff that's past it's best-by date, putting in the laundry, stacking up the books that seem to appear on any semi-flat surface. Once I have the laundry out of the dryer and folded away, I'll run the vacuum and be done with it all.  

I'm in a bit of a strange place, mentally, where my brain keeps looping on Anxiety's Greatest Hits, so I"m trying to distract myself by Emulating A Healthy Adult. There's lots of water and herbal tea involved, and making of lists. Hopefully something will help.

Also since I have a month that I'm not checking work email, I'll likely be blogging more frequently.
