Lisa and Twitch



Okay, so not quite.  Twitch (or Twitchy) is my right eyelid.  It has now been one week since it began twitching, and I have no idea why.  Most of my friends have attributed it to stress or lack of sleep, but nothing has changed in my life in either area.  Is it delayed reaction from the crisis work the week before?  Do I need more sleep than I think I do?  Am I just strange?  Probably a little of everything :)  It does seem to finally be easing off today, so a weekend of rest does seem to be part of the cure.

I do have a few challenges coming up that are starting to concern me, mostly professional.  This job never gets easier, and every time I think I'm getting used to it I am surprised by one of my children, or I get new cases that present new challenges.  My workload is growing as well this spring, with the addition of two new responsibilities that I am excited about but must make time for.  Additionally, as spring draws nearer I will face increased pressure on my dissertation and the job hunt.  And there are other things that will remain out of the blog for today.

I am learning that the better I understand myself, and people understand me, the easier it all is.  Some people seem to be "getting" me, but others still have a way to go, and it can be frustrating.  Fortunately, when I have talked to those who know me best I am reminded of what I value and where I want to go.  Once I get that grounding, everything feels better, and I do what is best for myself.  And I like myself.  Twitches and all. :)
