HELP! I am in a funk. Where the heck do funk's come from...not really depression or sadness...just blah place that is neither happy or sad.
I have been trying to put my finger on the trigger...and haven't come up with anything in particular.
It's not due to finances. We are actually doing good right now and our plan is working nicely.
School is going fine...
as is the family...
So, what's up?
my diet...perhaps. I slip and slide all over the place..but tend to eat better more days than not. hmmm...
Housework? Boy would flylady have a field day around here right now. Maybe this is it?
Work...well, things are pluggin away. I am getting into the groove with all the new responsibilities and so far, have not sunk...I actually still love my job.
Me time? this could be it. I am so busy working, taking care of my mom, helping the kids budget, making grandbaby time, going to school, trying to redirect my troubled teen, take care of the house (or lately, not) and be a wife.
I have to say, it has been a while since I have done true ME time. I wonder if this is the reason for the funk?
I dont want to just 'go shopping' or start eating comfort foods...
I dunno. What do you do to get out of a funk? When you cant see the forest through the trees?
The hub and DD3 are going to a logging show on Saturday...maybe I should do something then...but what?
Usually, a free day like that is spent catching up on the housework...but ugh.
Ive saved most of my allowance this year, so I have plenty of money to do whatever...but I cant think of anything I want to do....
Funks suck. Help!
Funky, funky funk.

A funny rental movie or one from the library? A library book and an afternoon to read it?
I'm all for a day to yourself to recharge.

you mentioned you have most of your allowance saved up, why don't you do something that is totally out of character or out of your comfort zone?
the last time i felt blah, i went to a day spa with a friend. $30 to sit in some bubbles? yeah, but i felt invigorated, refreshed, relaxed and happy.
i've also been hiking with the same friend. we are getting a massage some time soon as well.

Sunshine or fresh air.
Dirty house? I open the windows and let the breeze defunkify at least the house. Put on a "Ventures" tape or CD and a pair of shorts, a teeshirt and my favorite tenny-shoes, a facial mud-mask and then get after the cleaning.
A hot shower afterwards w/the works in the spa treatments, including a mani & pedicure.
A nap.
Make a listing of things I'm grateful for in my life.
Curl up in bed and read to my hearts content.
Make plans of things that I'm going to do for the people I love in my life, even if it's just planning to write them a note or some such.
