Fri Oct 24 2003 - Just Tell Her to Chill
Just Tell Her to Chill

The wind has been blowing most of the day. I always like a little wind.
The whole back yard is in motion. Including the sheets that I washed and hung on my wooden clothes drying rack on the patio. I am looking forward to sleeping on those sheets that have been in the sun and wind all day long.

I haven’t done much today. And I have rather enjoyed it. I puttered here and there, did a little of this and that and allowed myself a nice long nap. I imagine tomorrow I will jump into some projects as usual, but today I just enjoyed my neat and orderly home.

I got out the Scribble Book and tried to write something coherent, but failed. I DID however do some scribbling, which I think is sometimes all one can expect. There are days when I don’t seem to have an opinion about much of anything, and others when I am overflowing with “humble” opinions enough for 3 or 4 people. Today, I am just watching the backyard plants sway in the wind, and listening to my little owl bell ring cheerfully. No more, no less.

The first born, INTJ expects more of course, and nags me a bit, but I have learned to tune her out when necessary, or at least turn down the volume. She always expects me to be honing my skills. Any skill will do. But I should be practicing something. Getting better at something, producing something, changing something. She’s exhausting to be around sometimes. It’s hard for her to take a day off. But I just told her to chill.

The sun is headed down. It should be a nice evening. I am off to Kabbalah class in a while. It will be good to see my classmates and catch up on what’s been happening while I was gone last week.

You couldn't possibly know nag unless you were acquainted with my aunts and my grandmother. I shut up my internal nagger when I was about 13 years old because the external naggers took care of everything.

Today was a good day to stay indoors, and I was outdoors. I do hope your sheets smell nice and windy, and not dusty.

I do remember that fresh air smell, though.

Seeya later.

Ah yes, I'm well acquainted with a similar nagger! She's a first born too.

I really like my NF qualities, but would love to experience being an NT just so I could get something done! Are you able to fully enjoy your quiet time or is there a little nagging feeling in the back of your brain prompting you to get started on something? I hope you can really get into it. Take care...P
Your Scribble Book is very cute!

I guess it's obvious that my retention leaves a little to be desired considering I just asked you a question you already answered. That's me for you. P

Is a scribble book like a little sketchbook? Those are always handy to jot down things. Sometimes I'll write something without explaining what I was thinking about and later I can't figure out what I wrote. Do you ever do that?
