Woke up this morning feeling old, tired, and defeated (and obviously quite sorry for myself).<\/p>\n
Happily, that cloud has receded and I’m feeling almost human now. And I haven’t even had any caffeine yet today!<\/p>\n
On the other hand, that means now I have to face the lengthy list of things I have to do today for work, home, and the upcoming con. But at least now I can look them all in the eye and feel a bit confident. That’s really the biggest part of my efforts to retrain myself over the last year or so… replacing “I can’t do this” with “let’s give it a try”.<\/p>\n
I was practically manic at the beginning of this week. I like the feeling, because in that mode I figure I can do absolutely anything, and I indeed tend to get a few thigns accomplished. The only downside is the slew of unwise decisions I start making until I crash out of it, or someone points out reality to me.<\/p>\n
Really, a middle road would work much better. I need the set of Google Maps for my psyche. (Hmm… “Here there be dragons?”)<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
