Do you ever have that experience where you're driving home (usually) from somewhere and you get home, but you don't actually remember the drive, making the turns you're suppose to make - and you just sort of arrive at home?
Have you ever felt your day go by that way?
Just this morning my pod-mate said "can you believe it's almost half-way throught October already?"
And you know, I can't believe it.
Last I remember I was gearing up for Septemeber and it's like I blinked and we're halfway through October. Like I have been sleepwalking through the past 6 weeks.
Don't get me wrong, it's not like I haven't had events and moments in those six weeks - I'm sure my itinerary has been litered with them.
But somehow these events and moments seem to fade to the background or become swallowed-up by my routine.
Again, I'm going to blame this weird existental nostalgic turn on my impending Birthday (18 days and counting!!)- always makes me reflective - works much better than New Year's for me :)
And hey at least I'm not litering these pages with a search for the meaning of life - more like the details of living it.
As a totally unrelated aside - I made a pretty awesome Butter Chicken out of our leftover Turkey today - well I guess that makes it a Butter Turkey technically. It was yummy!!

I spent a good part of last year in a haze, like that. It wasn't until I left my job to become a freelancer that it stopped.
I've noticed that I'm at my best when I'm making positive changes; so much so that I find I'm often examining if I want change for the sake of change, or genuinely believe something good will come of the change.
Any way, it's sounding a bit like you've been thinking about the pace of your lifestyle lately. Is your schedule providing you with what you want out of life?
Good Question!
I think the first thing I need to ask is am I being purposeful about my lifestyle?
I find the same thing - that I get bored easily, and as soon as I have mastered something or it becomes routine, I loose interst really fast.
But here's the thing life has to contain some routines - I can just keep changing jobs or seeking out major adventures 'cause I'm bored - can I?
I have to figure out how to live with what I've got and where I'm at - that's where I'm struggling.
At least I think that's what's going on.
If I don't pay attention when I'm driving, I'm pretty sure bad things will happen. Hell, most people expect bad things to happen when I DO pay attention! :)
Positive changes really have a way of perking a person up, for obvious reasons. :) And it generally means some stress has been taken away which is always good for your mental health.
Hoping for a bit of that in my near future as well... :D
