Being a guy, I can usually segment my life into pieces. I have my work piece, my school piece, my at home watching TV piece, etc. Usually I can keep each of these portions of my life from bleeding into each other. There are some exceptions to this, though.
The past few days I have not been able to keep up with my responsibilities at work because people have been out, and I have been trying to figure when I am going to find time to write my next paper for school. Over some time, this means that I have been having some stress spill over into my at home life.
Golden can usually tell when this is happening. When I shore myself in my recliner and resist any suggestion to do something outside the house, that means that I am trying to retreat into my home world away from the junk that is happening elsewhere. The big problem is that I can't hide out forever. I eventually have to go back to work and school and making myself comfortable at home makes the process more difficult.
I think this is part of why I have always had a hard time getting out of bed in the morning. Bed represents safety and lack of responsibility. When I get up I have to be responsible, on my toes, and accept the possibility of failing at what I do. Sometimes, even a nightmare feels safer than that.

...time to make the donuts.
Golden can usually tell when this is happening. When I curl up in the fetal position and start crying for mommy.
Well, yeah, but that is a little more obvious. :)
Seriously, I think being home schooled messed you up in that area.
I could tell last night that there was no way you were going to get out of the house. Sorry that classes on Monday and Tuesday are wearing on you.
will you be coming out of the house tonight?? Say...to homers?
I plan on it.
Actually, I want to talk to you about Wednesday nights tonight as well, so I have motivation to be at Homers.
Opps, I didn't read this before I left work las'night...so we didn't talk about Wednesday nights. catch me later.
oops not opps.
I've noticed when I'm stressed I quit blogging. It's too personal for some reason and I have to cut something or I can't function.
