MIA

Ah, so much for keeping to schedules. The last few weeks haven’t been the greatest when it comes to work-life balance. Got gobsmacked by some personal stuff and as a result, got a bit over my head with work. Not good considering it is just January. I took a week “off” (ie. not taking or looking for any assignments) from writing to get my head screwed on.

I have to admit that during this week “off”, I didn’t do much of anything, including writing for fun. I’m sort of kicking myself for this now because I feel like I’ve wasted time that I could have used to do something, well, useful. I’m sure that I did more than “just” take care of The Little Empress, something that I’ve discovered is becoming more challenging. TLE fits the classic definition of being “high needs” and I confess that it has been leaving me drained both mentally and physically  By the end of the day, I am just plain exhausted by trying to keep up with her.

I’m hoping to get back into a better frame of mind this week, get some more stuff done without feeling like I’ve been beat down. *sigh* Here’s to trying.
