FROZEN IN STASIS

 

Stasis is defined as a period or state of inactivity or equilibrium.  That’s been me.  Frankly, I’m out of balance, on hold, and so laid back that I am frozen in place.

From an email sent to C: “I have to confess that I have ground to a halt and am accomplishing nothing but pricing books.  Now, at last, I’m done with the books.  There’s been a change of managers at work.  I’m going to further complicate the new manager’s life by bringing in six more boxes of priced books on Saturday.

Slowly my stomach settles down again to vague nausea.  I have a follow-up appointment with my GP doc on Monday and am making an appointment with a gastroenterologist.  Truthfully, I have no excuse now for not coming to the pool.  Except the cold.  LOL  I was thinking of using the gym until the temperature moves into the fifties.  It’s 42 degrees right now.  Oh, brrrr.”

I have promised myself that I’d get off my bum, do my put-off email, write something then wash the sheets.  While they go around down in the garage, I’ll start on the quilt at last.  I’m just deathly afraid that anything I do won’t look crowlike.

I know for sure that fear is all that’s holding me in stasis.

  • Herself:  Pretty much stopped coughing and blowing my nose at last too.
  • Reading:  Penny.
  • Gratitude’s: That Poolie’s sister is still donating her read but perfect books to the shop.

I get into that state when coming out of a bout of back pain. Yes, fear. Small, concrete goals work well. I’ve just been to the DMV to apply for a Real ID. That should be enough for today!
