pegkerr: (Alas for the folly of these days)

Distracted

I will just say, vaguely, that there has been a lot of stress this week. I have been coping with it in a tried and true manner: reading much too much. I'm not depressed, though. I am just trying to disappear from the world and lose myself in an imaginary one. The urge is really extremely strong. I have been in a state where I don't want to stop reading for any reason at all, not work, not all the household stuff that needs to be done, not reading my LiveJournal friends page, not sleep, not anything. It is most annoying. And exhausting.

I am also eating too much and not exercising enough.

I'm completely in agreement with you here. I can't even read anything challenging right now; I need the literary equivalent of candy floss and chocolate. I've been reading bad fantasy novels and eating far too much junk food. It's tough when the world demands too much from you, especially when you're an introvert like me.
