getting an outline done for the novel I had planned. I'm retired, I have plenty of time to do it, but I may just have to realize that I may just not be interested enough in writing to actually do it. It sounds like too much work rather than fun.
I have noticed that, for this last year since retiring, I have been very uninterested in anything that looks like work. I don't know if this feeling will pass, but right now I feel anxious when I have even two things that I must do in one day, like two appointments. I feel pressured and pushed, even if they are things I wanted to do. Don't get me started on those days when I have two doctor's appointments or something like that. I can hardly sleep the night before in those cases.
I think that after a lifetime of always having to work, always having to deal with life/kids/hubby full bore every day, now I REALLY want to lay off of anything that smacks of work.
In fact, I had to laugh at myself yesterday -- in my working days, I always styled my hair each morning. Now I don't do that, as a rule. Yesterday I was going to a party, so I styled my hair and felt anxious because it reminded me of going to work every day. Man, work took a lot more out of me than I even realized. How I dealt with it I have no idea. Putting one foot in front of the other, I guess.
