"off"

It's wierd. I have a lot going on right now. At least compared to 2 months ago when I was jonesing for some action in my new Atlanta life. Still, the last few days I feel like I'm going through the motions. I've worked everyday since returning from CA, which is probably part of it. I'm still not fully on Atlanta time because I've allowed myself to stay up late doing various things, and then nights like tonight when I actually get in bed on time, I can't fall asleep. That's wierd, too, because it started raining soon after I got in bed, and I love falling asleep to the sound of rain.

But really, I've had a fair amount of social interaction for me. I've had meaningful work. I've had tasks to do to get ready for school, a new room to settle into, and errands to run. I'm not bored by any means. Most of what I'm doing is new in some way, so I'm not exactly going through the motions yet because the motions aren't known. Still I feel like something's missing or a little off and I can't put my finger on it, though I'm trying.

I have realized I'm spending a lot of time around women. There is one male dietitian at work (which is unusual for even one male to be working in the clinical setting), I've been making mostly all girl friends here so far, and I'll be going to class with mostly all girls. I need to make some guy friends here to balance it out. I had a lot of guy friends in San Francisco. Maybe that's one small piece of this puzzle. But I don't think it's the main cause of my feeling slightly "off". It might just be working for going on 9 days straight...
