I've come to realize that the wedding is like some program running constantly in my head in the background. It's amazing to know we're almost there (T-9 weeks) and that Hawaii is the absolutely reward, but I'm tired and the big push has yet to happen. That "program" is sucking mental energy that I'm unaware I'm even losing.It's a perfect explanation for why I feel like I can't execute anything bigger than "clean the bathroom" lately.
Wedding planning is a daily strategic plan of shit you need to execute that you really could give a crap about in the moment. Each time I check a major item off our To Do list (invitations mailed!), I find myself lagging on doing anything for the week aftewards. This gives the whole planning process a start-stop edge to it that means I'm never really satisfied with what I'm doing / have done.And because I want desperately to have my resources of time and money back in savings so I can do what I want to do, I find myself ignoring the wedding check-list the way college kids ignore laundry. If I just shove the pile under my bed, maybe someone will realize I need clean underwear and take that load off of me...But life isn't like that. And so, to feel semi-productive in the life I'm living right now (the one sans money and time to do the other domestic things I'd like) I cook.Tonight was lentils, chicken and veggies. I'm also on a diet / exercise kick for said wedding.It's really taking over my life. ::sigh::
At least I get to eat some really great food. Lentil recipe from Casa Yellow.
When in Doubt, Cook
