Stupid Habits

* Sometimes, I'm so happy to be married to someone who shares my opinion on so much that I overshare and bug her. I keep having to remind myself that some thoughts need to remain in my own head. I didn't use to be like this. It's weird.

* I tend to forget to wear my reading glasses when reading. My eyes are so used to this, I automatically focus on the words. The thing is, it causes eyestrain because I'm so tightly focussing my eyes--if I don't do it, I can't read standard-sized fonts anymore without difficulty. I don't think about it because that focussing action is so automatic that it doesn't occur to me until my eyes start to hurt that if I was reading with my glasses, I
wouldn't be in pain. Anyone around me when I do this has permission to remind me to wear my damned glasses.

* I'm very behind on grading; I just don't care. I'll catch up next week.

* I write many, many more posts than I actually put up; I compose them in my head, often while driving, but forget--or don't have the time--to actually type them up. And these are fairly long, substantive posts. Oh well. Not like the world is banging on my LJ demanding the word.

* When things feel overwhelming and bad (such as my current job worries due to the District planning layoffs), I tend to obsess a little about trivial things that ordinarily would pass through my brain and then be forgotten. This can be anything from wanting a new watch (or other Techno Gadget). Last week I wanted a watch. I obsessed until I found one I liked. I've been looking up cars I want even though I'm months (at the least) or years from being able to buy one. I STILL want a Global an iPhone despite the many reasons I shouldn't bother.

* X-box... xxxxx-boxxxxxx.... *headshake* Huh what? Oh, right. Habits. Um, never mind.
