Still having trouble digesting the election. (I've been doing yoga at home, but I didn't think it was enough to write
about, even though it takes about a half an hour, more or less, and I'm
able to move from upward dog to downward dog, albeit clumsily.)
And today I just had to make time to write a post at another site, and thereby made myself late for the water fitness class. This session the class emphasized the arms. The music was unremarkable, but the final slow-down moments, followed by a noodle float were comforting in a way.
After class, I did some water-walking. Did I feel better? a bit. Then I found out I needed to get an okay from the monitor, who wasn't there, to do water-walking at that time, and there was a misunderstanding, and so forth, and, yeah. So I did the hot tub, sauna, showered and got dressed.
I went into the facility area, where Karen was meeting with a supplier. She and the building facility guy (I've seen him at meetings all year, and still don't know his name) gave me the okay to go up to the crow's nest and see what it looks like. It's an office area with three or four computer monitors at a U-shaped desk, pretty much how the shared desks are at the facility trailer, with a window that looks out into the wall to the north, and another that looks out to the park to the east. It's accessed by a flight of stairs. It had been a storage area, but more offices were needed and so now it exists.
After leaving the building, I went for a stroll through Juniper Park, hoping that the fresh and and sunlight would do me good. I pondered the counsel I was given Sunday--that this is a period of time where nothing can be done, but to endure and do well with the space and the people around me. The sunlight gradually faded as the sky grew cloudy during my meditative journey.
I briefly visited with another co-worker who was unloading his plumbing rig, and then found one of the seasonal landscapers. I felt a bit cheered after the visits, but it was short-lived. My fight-or-flight mode was still stuck in the "on standby" position, which isn't good at all--it's very stressful, and I tend to over-eat while waiting to see if it go one way or the other. It was just as well for me that the little local grocery store was closed, or I would have eaten its pastries. I went to Costco, has a slice of pizza, and came home just as the drizzle started and the melancholy returned.
