(no subject)

So I have a co-worker who I've nicknamed Chidi on DW (mainly because he looks and sounds a lot like Chidi from the Good Place). I would never tell him to his face.

Chidi: I've learned never to make any decisions when I'm drunk on my emotions. I wait until I've sobered up.

Feeling more than a little drunk on my emotions the last few days. Particularly today -- when one thing after another hit me square in the face. Nothing earth shattering -- well there was a death (no family members, just a somewhat close friendly acquaintance from church who I did care about on a certain level), so yes, I suppose that could be considered earth shattering. Felt a bit overwhelmed by it all, have no idea how to respond to any of it, and feel like no matter what I do, I will be inadvertently stepping in the metaphorical equivalent of dog poop.

Came home and meditated for a solid thirty minutes, until my right leg went to sleep, and that helped sober me up a bit -- and I realized that I do not have to make any decisions on any of the things that happened today, right now. This instant.

I can wait a while. Until I am sober, and less overwhelmed by everything and well, drunk on emotion.

This is a good thing.
