I am so morose today I feel like starting this out, "Dear Diary." But I shall refrain.
Last week was a great. I worked 9-5, I felt like I had a life, I felt like my re-entry was really smooth, and I had a number of projects I was very excited about.
Then I had to work this weekend on a project that genuinely required my time, and from then on it's been all wrong. I'm working endlessly, working now at nearly 8 PM, working while eating, I'm even working on my netbook upstairs, which I swore not to do.
And a couple of the things I was most excited about have hit rough spots, and I just want to curl up in a ball and cry and cry and cry.
I kind of get what happened here, from a psychological point of view, but I'm just sick and tired of the inside of my own head.

THIS is why it sucks that my friends all live so far away. Because what I'd do is march in, crank Leonard Cohen's Everybody Knows (sure it's a sort of bitter tune, but I think it would do the trick) and feed you dark chocolate until you revved back up again to a workable RPM level, then take Rawley out for a walk so you could be productive without distraction. Kyrie would stay, so that someone's around to keep an eye on you, just in case.

Food for thought: "Stress is who you think you should be; relaxation is who you are."

This is why I work a 9-5 type job. They don't want to pay o/t so they shove you out the door. I swear it is all tied to willpower. The person who can come up with it in pill form will be a billionaire by the end of the 1st week. We'd all be taking it and be on our diets, and exercising and telling ourselves stop or go when we need to stop or go. Ranting about it when I should be in bed so I can get up at dawns early crack to go to that job. But hey - I gotta get caught up on my school work, emails and reading. hhmmmm

*Sigh* Been there done that and I just can send good thoughts.
I now make myself stop and go out for a stroll--no matter what.
Usually it is sometime after the morning mission and before the afternoon downhill slope.
Always grounding and mind clearing.
I think the problem is that you forgot to refill the emergency kit when you got back from vacation.
Replenish the dark chocolate for sure--and fill in the rest with those other essentials!
