I thought my life would settle into a manageable pattern after I returned from vacation. Actually, I still (vainly?) hang on to that belief. But, at the moment, things are anything but calm. I feel like one of those mad scientist’s experiments gone haywire – explosions and short circuits everywhere – so many things do to, places to be, people to see! It’s exhilarating but I’m exhausted and spread thinner than I’d like.
I came home from work today and decided to do some stretches on the floor. Instead, I fell asleep. In the middle of the floor. Still in my work clothes. Mid-stretch, even. Oops.
I could have comfortably stayed there all night if the fear of awakening with splinters instead of sheet creases marring my cheeks hadn’t propelled me to get up.
How do you keep up your energy and enthusiasm when there’s just not enough of you to go around?

/ August 26, 2010Oh that made me laugh. I used to think that my life would fall into a manageable pattern after this or after that, lately I have come at accept that it will always be chaotic, and somehow that makes it easier to deal with.
Maybe you should stretch in bed from now on…
