Burning… Burning…

It's not too often I'll come out and admit weakness, unless it's Jeopardy. Jeopardy is hard sometimes. Anyways, I've been going pretty hard all fall, since September. In fact, I didn't have a day where I didn't have somewhere to be or something to do (work, other work, third work that isn't really work but close enough, a wedding, or a medical procedure ) from the beginning of September until Thanksgiving. And I only had a one day reprieve. I'd like to note that I'm not saying all this just to bitch, I'm just setting the stage.

I love my life. I do (is "I do" a tie for shortest sentence in the english language? I think it should be). It's fantastic, and lately it's been a little fantastic-er. Maybe, fantastic++ would be better... ... nah, I like to make up words. The thing is, it's also taking up even more of the hours that I didn't have already. I'm going from burned out to really burned out and I'm afraid that I'm going to end up like I did a few years ago (this post about it is about as much of an understatement as I could imagine... actually... nope, Jo's entry is equally as understatey.). Mostly, I don't want to get sick and die, and I want to be able to enjoy the finer things in life.. like.. I don't know, sleep. So come January, I've decided to take things a bit easier. Go a little slower. Chill out, and take the time to smell the roses. Yes. Roses. In January. Bite me.

Hopefully I'll manage to make this happen, because that'd be really swell. I'm going to cut back a little on the things that I'm doing, and I'm going to try to enjoy those things that are left a little bit more. Mostly, I'm going to sleep. So, here's to snoozin'.
