So lately, I just don't feel like myself. When I pass a mirror, it's like the woman passing on the other side can't possibly be me. She's someone I don't recognize. I don't like this feeling, and I'm not sure how I got to this place in my life. It's like: "Where's the Drennan I know? She was interesting. She wore interesting clothes (not sweat pants every day) and arrived at work early. She read and wrote and cooked interesting things. She had places to be and people to see. This woman, the one with the ponytail in her hair, isn't the woman I knew at all, not at all." I find this troubling, and I'm not quite sure how to begin to deal with it. I don't know how to relax. I don't know how to be the person that I used to be or used to want to be. I'm boring. I'm bland. I'm giving in to being unattractive. I've lost something, and I don't know how to describe it. If I did, I'm sure that I could "fix" it. It's not that something is missing from my life; it's more that something is missing from
me.

it sounds as if you're hibernating--unseasonable snow, probably lots of popcorn and cocoa, and soup. and these things lend themselves to sweatpants. and as far as the ponytails and pigtails go--well, don't you worry because i've got a set of crocheted felt norwegian floral hair ties with your name on them!
and if you're pausing in the mirror it may just be time for pink stripey socks to pull you out of hibernation.
love you lots!
