For some reason, I'm feeling somewhat panicky and off-balance today -- doubtful and jittery, sensitive to the point of not wanting to take a shower or leave the house. I've decided not to go to the DBT class this afternoon (yeah, I know, that's the LAST thing I should be avoiding when I'm feeling like this...), and can somewhat justify it based on the fact that I can use the time to get Hardy Boys pages done so I'll can go to the Take Back The Night march tomorrow evening with a somewhat clear conscience. Also, what they'll be covering in today's class is a set of skills I'm well-versed in and feel confident about (Opposite To Emotion Action and possibly Build MASTERy), so I don't feel that I'll be missing something essential by not attending.
Slept late today. I hate it when I do that, but sometimes the dreamy peace of sleep is just so damned seductive. That, and my dreams tend to be so involving for me, so addictive, that I can't pull myself out of them, in part because I really want to see what happens next, in part because of the heightend emotional states I experience when I'm in them. I'm one of those people who can have a complete dream during a 15-minute nap, so I haven't been able to time my alarm (based on the human sleep cycle) to wake me at a point when I'm NOT dreaming... it just doesn't seem to happen. Well. At least I'm physically well-rested.
I've been using the 10 lb handheld weights John brought quite a bit over the last few days, doing sets of 10 curls on each arm and 5 overhead lifts several times a day. I can already feel the effect this is having, and find it strangely energizing.
