the source of my discontent: The Top Five

the_siobhanI think maybe I'm feeling overwhelmed.
1.) The house is moving along, but a lot slower than we would like. Mostly because we work different schedules and so the time we have available to work on it is pretty limited. We need to have the basement sorted by the time we turn the furnace on, so we're starting to feel the time crunch. And since reno work isn't the only thing we have or want to do with our spare time, it's getting kinda crunchy.
2.) I'm doing really really crap on the sorting out my dietary issues. If somebody plonked a list of foods and a schedule on my desk I would have no problem following it, but because I'm trying to figure out a lot of it on my own, it's a huge pain in the butt[1]. The experiments I've made with alternative flours[2] have been complete failures, and research and experimentation takes up time I could be doing other things. I find myself staring into the fridge trying to think of something I want to eat, and as often as not I say fuckit and make myself a sandwich and down a handful of pills. This is not what I want to be doing.
3.) Three years after a quit the damn company, LD50 showed up back on my doorstep like a 16 year-old shoplifting charge that just will not go away. I spent days going through boxes of old paperwork and telephoning government offices and I'm pretty sure the appropriate records have finally been submitted. But still. If a human ex kept up this kind of behaviour I'd take out a damn restraining order.
4.) I want to get off the phones at work. I even have a reasonable idea of what I need to do to accomplish that. I just have no left-over mental energy to put towards it. None.
5.) Money and debt. Kill me now.
[1]No scatalogical puns intended.
[2]Most recent purchases; chickpea, millet, moong and rice flours. Now I just have to hunt down recipes that don't include wheat.
