Haven't We Been Here Before?
I am so tired. So very, very tired.
A week and 1/2 of fourteen hour days has not been good to/for me. At least most of the grading is done and I could take this afternoon off. I napped and meditated and had a real lunch, so that's been nice. And caught up on my blogs. (Note to self: Someday, when you have a spare couple of hours, you need to update your blogroll, among other things...)
It's so strange. My life goes from crazy to empty in a day. I knew the shift was coming. I knew I had a big, old deadline (or two), and I was doing my best to meet them. But still, yesterday was all rushrushrush, as was the day before and the day before that, and today was catch up on the things you'd missed and-- nothing. Yes, I have rehearsal tonight. Yes, I'm about to start working lines hard to be fully off book in Act 2, but I have an empty afternoon, and that's lovely, but somehow frightening at the same time.
Not as frightening as it used to be, because I've got teaching work for the forseeable future. I don't have to worry about the big unemployment monster rearing its soul-killing head. And NaNoWriMo begins in a week and 1/2, so I've got stuff to do. Actually, I think my biggest fear right now is that I won't remember how to be still when the time for stillness comes again.
