Blocked

Since my last post on Sept. 27 (gasp, AGES ago … cue panic attack …), I have begun to write my next entry about a million times. Why has it taken me so long to get something out, especially as I have been officially “between work projects” since Oct. 1? Excellent question, and I find the answer is complicated, yet simple to answer. Or exactly the opposite of that, I’m not entirely sure.

Apparently I Don’t Do “Rest and Recovery” Either (Mentally, Anyway)

So I tried. I really, really tried. A physical victory indeed, but yet another mental defeat.

Blog, Interrupted

Hi! Did you miss me?

Apparently I need to add another item to my 101 things to do … update “Life After Normal” on a much more regular basis. Oy vey.

Next week I’ll let you know all the reasons about why I’ve been MIA, preoccupied, stressed out of my mind, happy, sad, scattered, centered and /or otherwise atypically overwhelmed in my typically overwhelmed existence.

Until next week … enjoy your weekend!

XOXO
