Yes, it has hit me full force--the BLAHS. Every quarter, right about midterm time, I feel absolutely drained--completely empty. I have to force myself to get up in the morning to go to work, even though I really do enjoy what I do! I look at everything I have left to do, and I just deflate. Time for attitude adjustment, girl. Time to wake up and get going. Mama would tell me "Get you a Snickers and a Co-Cola." I know what you mean, Mama. I wish you could just infuse me with your energy from where you are. I'll hypnotize myself and you just sneak on into my mind and give me one of your Burnside pep talks, okay? I probably just need to pick my chin up off the ground and get to it, huh? We've been so busy lately we haven't really had to to feel our feet walking on the ground. I am looking so forward to Thanksgiving when I'll have at least one day to just enjoy being with family--no thinking about work for 24 hours! So, it's all good. Really and truly. There's a fire in the woodstove, it's not raining (woo-hoo) and this coming week will fly by, I'm sure. I think I will pray that I am awake and aware for every minute so that I don't miss anything. Blahs happen because we close our eyes to what really matters--those moments of real connection with other people, right?
