Tired. Very tired; haven't gotten a good solid night's sleep in almost a week. Stressed. I have several major things to do and the hours keep slipping away. I think I'm in emotional limbo, too... lots of stuff, and I'm still feeling whiplash from the extreme good and extreme bad last night. Didn't have many dreams, but I think what I did have wasn't helpful. Numb would probably be the best word.
Between fatigue and emotional unrest, I'm not coherent enough to do anything constructive. I keep coming to and finding that I've been staring off into space for at least a few seconds, or reading the same sentence over and over trying to understand it. Not useful when I have a term paper to write, or have to format a newsletter to go up on the web. Not useful when I have to do taxes. I have enough lethargy that doing laundry or seed-sowing or other mindless tasks does not appeal. Sigh.
I'm not in a bad space, not falling apart or anything... I think I just need a vacation. Too bad this last week was my vacation (from school at least). I need time to sleep, and process things, and really make sense of my environment. A nap sounds good right about now... wonder whether I can sleep.
To those who look to me for counsel: don't worry, I can still handle input, I'm not to the point where I have to drop commitments yet. Others' problems aren't going to add to my burdens right now (in some cases they take my mind off my own stress). I'm just kind of tired today, and felt like having a whine. :)
I'm going to go see about that nap.
