This Week, I Have Been Mostly....

[teddy_radiator]

...running myself ragged. Yay! For extra work and a head start in getting our budget in line to make monthly car payments for the next six years. Boo! To standing on concrete floors for sometimes eight solid hours without a break every day since Saturday.We are pushing ourselves hard, so hard that by the end of play yesterday I was feeling close to passing out and nearly delirious with pain. Feet still feel like they are being held in the fire. I am using the best inserts I can afford and decent shoes, but it's just tough sometimes.

This has been the longest month of my life. It seems like a year ago the girls were here and they haven't been gone but two weeks. Work has just consumed almost every waking hour. I have written zero-zip-zilch on Promptfest and Kinkfest prompts. I keep telling myself I can do it, if I can just get a little rest. Constant exhaustion coupled with stress pains in my thighs is not conducive to creativity.

I know it's unlikely, but when I have a dry spell like this I'm always afraid it's permanent, like I'm done. I know, I know that's not true, but it does feel that way.

Thanks for letting me kvetch. I needed that. In the meantime, Hugs to all those in need. Think happy thoughts, friends. Happy thoughts. Me and DMuse are just two ships passing through the night right now, and I'm no damn good that way. Hopefully next week will be a little less physically and mentally stressful. That way, he and I can enjoy some morning snuggle time, and I can actually string two words together.
