BBBC Day 5 – Random

Today’s Topic – Blogger’s choice! Write about anything that’s on your mind!

This post will be a random mix of RL and SL thoughts, so if you’ll indulge me for a few minutes, I’d like to tell you a little about my day.

I work for a surgeon. A demanding, exacting, ridiculously talented surgeon. I would trust him with my life, in fact, on or about July 26th, I’ll do just that.  Today, he was in hyper-demanding mode. By the end of the day, I felt like I had run a marathon.  The only thing I wanted to do was run home, soak in a long hot bath and sleep.

After work, though, he asked me to attend a support group meeting that he was moderating. It was so inspiring to hear all of these people talk. It really gave me a whole new outlook on my day. He is demanding and critical in the office and in the OR so that his patients have the same life-changing experiences the people in this support group have had.  I get it now.

But, I’m home now.  Energized from the support group meeting, I’ve forgotten all about the bath and nap I had planned. I’m logged into my SL, chatting with Dick about the new releases at :. WoE .:, dancing at Rouge while my bestie, Nex, DJs, and chatting and laughing with some of my favorite people.

I always need a little bit of decompression time when I log in. I’m not one of those people who can switch off RL as soon as I hit the log in button. I always have to vent a little to Codie about my day (she should win a prize for patience, I swear). I clear my offlines, read through group notices and then think about changing clothes. Somewhere, in those twenty minutes, my RL worries start to fade from view and I’m able to focus on the friends I want to chat with, the movie Codie and I will watch or the work I need to get done for Ryker, Dick or Jori. If time permits, I’ll blog a little.

By the time I log off for the night and snuggle under the covers, I will feel like I have accomplished something in both lives. Even if it is just a small something, that sense of accomplishment will let me sleep easy.  Tomorrow, I’ll wake up and do it all over again. But, tomorrow, I’ll think about the people in that support group and I’ll demand more of myself and maybe I’ll even accomplish TWO little somethings.
