What needs to change? It’s not (necessarily) a baby/bathwater solution that’s called for.
Dreams last night were a loop of a work topic, never moving beyond the start of the loop. Ugh.
I’m in a different place this weekend. It’s the weekend. I’m doing non-work things here. Yet the brain is stuck in a loop. Even in dreams.
This means slow, steady change in other aspects of my life—not just work. Here is a trivial one. I can run up the miles on my car before returning it on the lease. Why not a big road trip? I’m only half facetious. Where could I go for a few weeks for a break?
The part I don’t particularly relish about this idea is the butt-in-driver’s seat time it takes to drive 2,000 miles. No road trip. Because really I don’t want to travel to (random place). I want to *be in* (random place). Better to cash in a few magic airline points to go somewhere and just be.
What this points to, though, is the need to make a more portable life for myself.
