When stress attacks

Yep. I’m home. Again. The first one of the somewhat quarterly 24-hour exhaustion and low fever bug attack is here.  Then again, that is common when I’ve been stressed out and then suddenly there was a relief.  My system just crashed like that.  If you’ve been reading here a while, you should know. 🙂 Remember how I went to bed at 8:30 last night? Well, I woke up once in the dead of night drenched in sweat.  The kind that you get when your fever breaks.  And of course, after kicking off the blanket, a minute later, I was  cold...

Gimme yer tired

The tired caught up with me. I slept all the way home from Downtown LA.  Usually that’d give me the second wind.  But today wasn’t the case.  I was sleepy getting off the bus.  My bus buddy/runner encouraged me to get to the gym like I planned.  And I did come home to change.  But Brandon met me at the door. And I changed my mind completely. Good night my darling.  I know it’s 8:30 p.m. but I’m so tired I can’t even think straight now....

Intermittenly…

…I posted. A writer’s block? Maybe. More like uninspired? Oh I don’t know. I’m sort of in a weird funk right now. I’m tired as heck, but the moment my head hits the pillow, my mind races. (Pond, you KNOW what I’m talking about!) So I decided to stay up and geek out until I’m really tired then I would go to bed. The flaw in that plan is that Brandon is asleep long before I got to bed. And there I am, tossing about for another good 10 minutes, hoping I didn’t wake him up. I’d fall asleep, say,...

Ding! Oakz is done!

Yep. Done. Work? The craziness is picking up. Big event coming up in February and people are going to start registering. Guess who’s making all the collateral materials AND working on registration all at the same time? Home? I got home today and made dinner, did laundry AND do the dishes. I’m fucking tired, man. Brandon and I are adjusting to his new work hours. Brandon now gets home about the same time or just a tad later than me, but he has Fridays off. So what I’m used to his coming home to an already decompressed Brandon. That saves...

It’s 11 p.m.

My wake up call is 5:15 a.m. My back up wake up call is 5:30 a.m. Must leave the house by 5:45 a.m. I’m dead tired. But my hair needs a bit of air drying time.  Yep.  Washed my hair tonight to keep my wake up call at 5:15 instead of 4:45. Brandon decided to turn our wall heater on for the first time all winter.  I LOVE HIM!!! Mother Nature has been throwing us some cold spell lately.  This morning, I stepped off my car on to the patch of grass on the sidewalk.  Itsy bitsy crunching noises came...

Whelmed

A quote from 10 Things I Hate About You: Chastity: I know you can be under whelmed, and you can be overwhelmed, but can you ever just be, like, whelmed? Bianca: I think you can in Europe. That would probably best described how I feel right now. As you’ve read, it has been a CRAZY weekend. Work hasn’t been absolutely quiet either. So I felt like I have just been “on” since Saturday. I was going to blow off the steam by going running tonight but it just wasn’t in the stars. My healthy, veggie-filled Korean lunch started to hatch...
