Day 69 - part 2what a waste of a day, seriously. my motivation could not have been any less existant. i planned to start my day by going to a jazz class and then going grocery shopping. instead, on the way to class, i decided i really didnt want to go so i just went grocery shopping instead. when i got home, i figured i'd just go to the gym in a little bit since i skipped class. on the way there i decided i was too tired and since i had to work from 530pm until god knows when in the morning i should go back home and take a nap instead. so thats what i did. i dont know if i even fell asleep or not but when it came time to shower and get ready, i decided i didnt feel like being miserable all night and skipped the shoot. it was going to be miserable for two reasons - 1 is because it was supposed to rain in the scene and we were gonna be soaking wet all night. 2 was because once 11pm comes around i get really tired anyway cuz that's usually when i go to bed. i never should have booked myself for it in the first place. i feel like such a piece of crap for not going to all these things today for no good reason. the only good thing i got accomplished today was writing a letter that was long overdue that i finally got around to writing. actually, i had already written a first draft i just needed to get it together. back in college i made a very selfish move and hurt my best friend in the process. we're still friends but i've always felt guilty about what i did and it was never resolved cuz we both avoid confrontation. but our friendship has never been the same and i always feel awkward when i'm with her (but that's not too often since she lives across the country). so i wrote her an apology letter that i'll be mailing out tomorrow. i dont even know if she still thinks about it or feels awkward with me too but i needed to get it all out for my sake whether she's over it or not. i just need to stop flaking on things. especially jobs cuz i really really need any money i can make. and i feel bad after i dont go. mentally its like how i used to feel after binging...luckily there is no bloating, stomach aches, and rapid weight gain that goes along with it. and i ususally end up being at home, watching tv, playing around on my computer and basically just wasting time. i just want january to be here. i have been booked for 15 days in january so that will be a nice bunch of cash. i'm not guaranteed to be working all those days but i have to keep them open in case i'm needed....but there's a good chance i'll be working a lot of them. i just need to start making more money so i can try to have somewhat of a social life. i actually looked into joining match.com so i can meet a guy (or guys) to go out on dates with because i'm not going to meet anyone sitting at home and i cant afford to go out. however, it costs a lot to join and i cant pay that right now. i'm a little nervous about the end of this month too cuz nothing shoots during christmas time which means i wont be able to work. i know you're probably thinking "just suck it up and get another job". well, i've thought of that but then i wouldnt be able to take time off to go up to san francisco for the holiday. "hey boss, i know i just started but can i take a week off?". not gonna happen. once again, if i need another job i'll have to wait til january. as tom petty says "the waiting is the hardest part".atleast i ate well today.

Don\'t be so hard on yourself? Who told you that every second of every day has to be productive? And who is to say that rest isn\'t productive? As an ME sufferer I am very intense on this subject. You listened to your body say it\'s tired and you respected it. More people should do that! I hear you about lingering guilt about hurting friends and it is SO difficult when one or both of you tend to avoid confrontation. Writing that letter will probably help her heal although she has clearly forgiven you!
I agree with BittenKitten, don\'t be hard on yourself, sometimes its nice to take time out and veg!! also January will be here before you know it!! Have a great Saturday:)
dont worry we\'ve all had those days.
