taking account (not a whine, really)
May. 19th, 2003 09:09 pmThings have been going far too fast for me for the past spell.
Costume Con and Toronto were both FANTASTIC - and happened in such quick succession that I haven't even had time to really have a good think over either trip; my memories are still lurking in a "dreamtime" state where I haven't really had time to savor them.
Work has from 0 - lightspeed in the space of 2 weeks, and I still feel like a total wuss that it's getting to me - why, back in college I could go like this for weeks...</creaky elderly voice>. My mind is stretched to the limit and I find it difficult to remember the simplest things, even with a list. I think it's also starting to affect my sleep; my dreams feel like I'm doing overtime in my skull and I am routinely waking up before my alarm.
Bodyart is NOT going to happen this weekend, nor anytime soon I imagine - there are bills and sanity that take priority. I'm a little disappointed, but in truth I'm too stressed out to enjoy the experience, and anyway, anticipation is half the fun ;)
I've taken on more than I can handle after work as well - a Costume Con project and a couple of new mailing lists. It's time to cut out the stuff I'm not reading and learn to stop when I'm tired/overwhelmed.
One good thing - I am keeping in shape, as exercize is one of the few things that seems to exhaust me enough to make me sleep properly. Fencing, more than ever, rocks!
I'll get back on track, I just need to adjust and slow my head down, at least on weekends. I see "Matrix : Reloaded" in my future...
