Dear, Pace down!

My weekend just went off and I did not do much. Or doing too many things at once?! Perhaps did not do the things which I wanted to do the most, I still have so many things pending on my to-do list, but some how not able to do! It’s already has been more than a week since I started at my new work. Still most of the things go over my head; Also I thought that one of the thread I started some time back is almost complete, but again when I took a second look and tried to post it, realized that its getting loose some where, some how I’m not getting that grip/hold on it. Too many things are going on in my mind and I’m not able to concentrate on one particular thing at one time, I guess. I’m starting with some thing but my thoughts are taking me some where else!

I’m wondering why it is so? Perhaps I’m running around and around and pushing myself too much without giving myself a break?? Could that be due to my so called vacation? Where I did not do anything other than shopping and hopping the malls. [I did not know until recently that I too like shopping, like many other girls :D]. That shopping bug had really stuck too hard on me and everyday I went to different malls; tried soooo many different dresses, bugged few friends to help me pick up the best fit and bought few of them home. Returned back totally exhausted and tired, but still had preserved enough energy for next day's next round of shopping! During this shopping spree one thing I realized is that of disadvantages of being thin. It is so sooo difficult to get the right fit! In one particular shop I picked up some thing around 10-15 different dresses, liked their color, design and the texture of that cloth. Literally modeled for more than an hour, everything sooo perfect, everything the way I want, but alas! they would not fit me :( all of them were bit too big, bit too loose L I had to leave all those beautiful tops and skirts which I liked and fell in love with behind and go to next shop hoping to find the right ones! Finally after going around and around happy that I could at least get those few which I liked, however reqs are still open, yet to fill in lots of places!!

And later in that same week, came our exciting “Oh My glasses and Avocado” camping trip to our California’s crown Redwood National Park and its preparations and its excitement. Starting from driving that big SUV (Suburban, try pronouncing it as Superman!) on that dark cloudy day, that sea side long drive, where sea and sky were competing with each other to show their vastness! They looked inseparable, as if both are expanding into each other! It was a spectacular vision to see! It’s thick and dense forest, home to many wild animals, specially bear and loins. My idea of bear got changed recently, now that I know that they won’t tickle but really attack! (I used to think that, bears would tickle a person and make them laugh and laugh and that’s how a person would die laughing!! I used to wonder how I would control my laughter if I happen to encounter one!! J) And then its cold, chill weather, that wooden logs, coal and campfire, barbeque and those long long loud midnight discussions (yes we made so much noise that next day forest ranger came and warned us!) and that Klamath beach side flowery trial, which had bunch of colorful flowers and those white daisy like flowers which we could hold it as a bouquet!! And that siesta in warm sand on that mouth of Klamath, and colorful pebble collections and its interpretations!! That castle we built in the sand and left a couple there to live in happily ever after and appointed a guard to safeguard them forever!! And that star explorations in the midnight peeping through those gigantic tall redwood trees…

On top of all these things, my new job, new people, new place and new environment is adding to my restlessness I guess. Its all due to many things happening within a short span of a week and me not giving enough space to myself to sink into these changes. Its time to sober down and pace down myself a bit! hope to get back to normalcy soooon and complete those unfinished tasks!!
