Angst
I feel angst. I want it to stop seizing me when I’m alone at night. Just make it stop…

Stock Shy
Normally, I am holding some stock in one or more companies for the better part of any year, but this year (ever since mid-October actually) I have simply been avoiding the stock market. I don’t really know what is going on with me other than to say that I am stock shy. I had been buying, holding and selling different equities for years now, and then I had two mediocre trades and now I don’t feel like doing it anymore.

Collector to Minimalist
I am making a slow transition from a collector of collectibles, memorabilia, clothes, and souveniers to a minimalist.

Chiropractic
Today I went with Joy to her Chiropractor and Massage Therapist. I didn’t really do much but sit and read news magazines at the therapist, but I went to see the chiropractor and got a complete work-up.

Thanksgiving
Last night my family had Thanksgiving dinner. My parents are never all that concerned with celebrating special days on the exact day, so this year when some of my relatives said it would be more convenient to congregate on a Saturday than a Thursday they got what they wanted.
I’d have to say that it worked out pretty well this year… perhaps better than years past even. Stores were open so we could get last minute items more easily, there were fun events that the kids could all go to in town, and a huge rivalry to watch before dinner (but I don’t want to talk about that.)
All-in-all it was a good Thanksgiving. I got two feasts this year… one with Joy’s family and one with mine.

Sleep Deprivation and Longing
Over the past year or more I’ve noticed that when I am suffering from mild to severe sleep deprivation I become prurient and long for physical attentions with strong emotional undertones. Basically, when I’m drowsy I’m roused and wanting affections of the emotional and intimate sort.

Small Things
I’ve recently had some successes with what would normally be considered small things like sleeping and other daily tasks. This is in no small part due to the help of my roommates and my girl friend… without their compliance I’d probably still be messing up the details of my life.
It occurred to me a several weeks ago that I need to start being faithful in these small things, so I have tried to be faithful — with success all around so far.
I’ve managed to sleep — at night — every night for the past week and a half.
I’ve managed to go to all of my Arabic classes for more than two weeks now.
I’ve gotten things around the house more and more “in order.”
I’ve taken care of the ‘issue(s)’ with Alachua County and the Florida DMV.
I’ve managed to run twice at least twice a week every week for the past few months.
I’ve nearly killed my to do list. The only items that remain are cleaning my room, tidying my bathroom and catching up on my Real Estate Analysis readings. (Aside: I don’t understand myself. I read and read for a few hours a day online, but when it comes to reading 30 pages twice a week I hit a wall.)
Pray for my attempt to finish those three things, and that I continue with this new attempt at paying attention to the small things.

New Hobby
Well, Joy has told me that she prefers this new habit of mine (writing for the blog) over my old habits of writing to magazines, newspapers, columnists, and companies, so I guess I’m doing something that makes her happier. Woohoo!
