Things at work have been stressful. Some of it is likely exacerbated by my exhaustion. I took the afternoon off on Friday and have not been working this weekend. I'll need to do some work tonight to prepare for a deadline tomorrow, but it has been a restful couple of days in the meantime.
Stress is a sneaky little bitch and if you don't stop her in her tracks, she can destroy you.
My reaction to stress varies, but it often involves some indulgences, some self-reflection, and a lot of shutting down. The latter reaction has caused me to realize that my garage-to-studio conversion MUST happen. The sooner the better, too. I need to be able to leave out paints and pick up a brush on a whim. My current arrangement doesn't allow for painting indoors, and even if I could, I would be required to set up and tear down each and every time I wanted to work.
I will get there. The time for balance may have presented itself some tme ago, but I haven't ignored it and I will not put it off any longer than necessary.
