me and you and what we'd do for money

[reflectedeve]

Oh flist, I am so tired. It was my friend's funeral this weekend, so that was . . . complicated and emotionally draining. (People keep asking but I don't really know what to say? It was a tragedy; I am filled with regret; life goes on, though, and it was good to see old friends. Yeah.) I think I'm okay, really, but it's still processing on some internal levels, if that makes any sense? I haven't quite regained equilibrium. And there's another really upsetting ongoing situation with another friend that I have to get back to dealing with ASAP.

Plus, I just got out of a stressful meeting at work that I've been anticipating for a long time, and I'm starting to suspect that I don't know how to take a break. (Procrastinate, sure, but that's not the same thing at all.) I have vacation time, but I'm not good at using it (except single days here and there). And I keep taking on art deadlines and piling up project ideas and not getting any sleep.

I'm going to talk to my boss and see about taking the first week of August off . . . my family might head out to Maine together, or I might just curl up and sleep a lot. Something.

I want to have energy for all that art! And to try and catch up with the internet. There's a lot of appreciation I've been meaning to express. ♥
