Messy mush of conflicting feelings; the usual state of affairs in my head these days. I don’t seem to have any level days, it’s up and down, a constant motion. If life were a boat, I’d be hanging over the side, green in the gills, heaving. Last week, the first official week back at work had me with my head down, pounding through a monster list of projects and requests and emails with barely a chance to come up for air. If I hadn’t worked during my last week of vacation, I’m positive my head would have exploded by Friday. Even two days off of mostly weekend relaxation and a full last day of downtime with my mom doesn’t feel like enough to offset the craziness. I feel older and tireder and in need of more sleep. Maybe I just need iron? A massage, a hug, a nap.<\/p>\n
Today, I distracted myself from the dismay of the end of Mom’s visit by cooking for my friend Debbie’s family; her husband is still going through chemo (round 4 ended 2 days ago): 6 meals are in the freezer and that makes me feel really good.<\/p>\n
Even with lots of good things to look forward to, I seem to have rather dimmed vision at the moment. Perhaps it’s all just post-PMS and things will brighten up in a day or two. At least I managed to sit down and write something here; been feeling unable to find the ork<\/i> or anything even semi-meaningful to share. Perhaps tomorrow’s long overdue visit to the hairdresser followed by a massage will be just what I need. And maybe it’s just the January\/February Blues, and the only cure is putting my head down again and slogging toward Spring.<\/p>\n
Anyone else feeling like this? What are you doing to counteract it, if so?<\/p>\n
