Random Notes from a Sunday
- I'm in a little agony right now, but it's a good thing. I went to the lunch buffet at my local Indian joint and overate. I ate what was approximately the same portion that I usually eat when I'm there, but now it's making my stomach feel distended and painfully bloated. The reason why this is good is because I think the pain is inidicative of the fact that I've been consistently eating less food, so my stomach has shrunk.
- I've found that crossword puzzles are an education in how my mind works. I picked up a book of them because I wanted some good mental exercise, and they're driving me a bit mad. I'm a bit surprised to see how quickly I get irritated when I can't think of an answer off the bat, and I have to fight to stay focused on the task at hand instead of drifting off to daydream. I mean, I can't stay focused for longer than, say, 30 seconds on a problem. I think this gives me insight into the struggles I've had at work or with my personal creative writing pursuits, and it should help me overcome the feeling that I struggle because I'm stupid; I'm not stupid, I just give up too easily.
