As I dragged my still sore carcass out of bed for the second time this morning (I was briefly up at 5am having myself a merry little crohn's attack) it occurred to me that maybe the way to stay sane is just to remain constantly nigh unto soul crushingly busy. This week has just been go go go from the second I got here and between the hoofing it around the city, work, and various bits of family errandry I haven't really had the time or energy to mope, feel sorry for myself, or generally feel like a useless lump of crazy - it's just DO ALL THE THINGS from the second I wake up until I pitch into bed wiped out. This is also to a certain extent true of kid weekends, since they need constant running around after and crisis management. Again, no time to really get lost up in my own head.
Now granted I can only sustain this kind of pace for so long - I fully expect that I will spend the vast majority of the five hour trip home on the bus dead asleep, not to mention much of Friday and Saturday. But it's something to think about in terms of taking a lesson learned down here and trying to figure out how to apply it up there. The first thing is to figure out how to motivate myself to just keep going with all the things that need doing at home, cause here most of my to-do list is other people generated and I tend to do a lot better with staying on task if the impetus comes from something outside of myself. So there's that.
Anyway, I kinda slept late this morning so I have to do some super extra hustling this morning. Later, nerds. Keep Kidzilla's dragons from dying while I'm off, k?
