Remember that new leaf I turned over?


Hogwash and poppycock.

Caffeine-induced dementia.

I've been working this….fun! really quite fun! but surprisingly exhausting day job for 6 weeks now, and I can barely manage to get out of bed in the morning and put on a reasonably cute outfit, let alone get up in time to WRITE for a fucking hour before work.

I missed the last deadline I set for myself. I've set another one, which is LOOMING. But I'm thinking maybe I should just let me off the hook for the next month until I get back to my sweet little life and my desk in the corner of the kitchen.

Beating myself up about it doesn't seem to be helping.

Anyhoo.


Thanks for listening, you guys. It always helps me to blog it out.

      yeah, i want to know how that's going for you! it takes time to get used to it and for your skin to adjust.

      i'm falling off the wagon this week because i have to wear full stage makeup every night for the play i'm in, and i sure as hell am not going to bed at night with it on....hopefully i don't break out!! :\

    no beating anyone up! you're learning how full your plate can be before you start to lose it. it's a handy thing to know about yourself. the people who never say NO to anything seem super unhappy all the time. they apparently never figured out where their limit was, or else they're masochists. make time for whiskey and dan savage and a bath in your crazy esb life.

    Beating yourself up about it (in my case) just makes me want to punch myself and then throw in the towel. So yeah, give yourself a break. And a nice big cocktail.
