Funny to follow up a post about keeping plates spinning with a post that I’m temporarily stopping some plates from spinning due to burnout and a need to rest. I’ve spent few weeks staggering through life, just barely keeping myself going and often only by taking days off. So, this week, rather than pushing myself to the brink of exhausted collapse, I’m exhaustedly collapsing at the start and just letting myself off the hook on just about everything I can. Might as well take a whole week off if I’m not going to be doing any overtime. Might as well rest. Might as well create the time and space to work through everything weighing me down and making my life more difficult and stressful than I can easily manage if I actually put aside time for it. So I’m doing that. No new blog posts until July 6th. Taking two whole weeks off and this time without the emotional weight and loneliness of the winter holidays to weigh me down. Just… rest. Actual rest and casual activity and clearing every single fork that’s been slowly adding to my daily burdens. Actual real rest. I hope.
