Life, Perspective

Wednesday night I was feeling just slightly overwhelmed by the number of things piling up on my plate, and what I really needed was to have a couple of awesomely productive days to make sure I was on top of everything. So of course I woke up at 3 AM with my insides feeling like they were in the middle of a very little boat on some very big waves.

Two days ago I only would have felt a sense of accomplishment if I managed to install the entire bathroom floor in one night, yesterday I felt good about the fact that I managed to eat one whole banana by 8PM.

There’s nothing like spending a day where the absolute best feeling in the world is the cool porcelain of the toilet bowl pressed against your cheek to put things into perspective.

    You’re doing great! Hang in there….it seems the closer I get to any type of deadline, the pressure increases daily to near combustible. Sometimes if I allow myself a mini-meltdown, all is put back into normal range and whatever needs being done, is done…by deadline. So, take a bottle of wine, go sit in the bathtub space, have a whine and voila! Pressure decreases and clarity returns!

    Ugh, feel better soon! Ha, you’re right, there’s nothing like a little perspective… :)

    Oh man…I hope it’s one of those varieties of yuck that goes away completely and never comes back! Hang in there and know that you are making amazing progress and that it will all come together soon (and then you’ll be wondering, what am I going to do now?!?).

    Happy Weekend!

    Well, an ass I am :) I am so sorry for not realizing you are ill. Forget wine, have meltdown…most of all heal quickly. All will work out on time.

      Ill or not, your idea sounded like the best one I’ve heard in days! ;)

    Oh! that shit is TOTALLY going around. I’m really sorry you got it.

    A friend who had it ACTUALLY LET ME HUG HIM before telling me. And then I punched him in the nuts.

      You’re very kind! I had the nasty bug over Christmas.

    Good luck for your battle! Hope the banana works it’s remedy.

    O carp, I spent two days in bed this week with the same damn thing. Except for when I wasn’t in bed. Could have been worse, still not 100%, but not what was needed at the time.

    Hope your sea’s a flat calm by now. Or getting there.
