So yet again I am out of balance... I burnt the candle not just at both ends but I guess I found a bit of wick sticking out the middle and lit it too. So exhaustion and stress (all good, but stress none the less) has made me open to the first virus that came along. I wonder if my body let me get it just so I would stop and give it a rest.
I have a problem, I have been given a ton of opportunity and tons of inspiration but the same amount of time as everyone else. So I am trying to work 4 days a week at the tattoo shop, 2 days at home painting for shows and since the hubby isn't getting up at the ass crack of dawn anymore, I have been going out more too. Add to that I still don't have time to play with my wii, knit, and do all the fashion projects I want to do since I left Japan... Oh and did I mention I also have several canvases waiting to get worked on it, pieces that I could sell.
I have so much I want to do, so many opportunities open to me that I want to take advantage of. But my 40 year old body is unable to keep up. Why is all this happening when I cannot handle it? I need to find the balance and take better care of myself mentally and physically. so today I did nothing but watch TV and check the internet.. I hope it buys me a reprieve for the week and I promise my body I will take it easier for the next week aand stgart eating better and more frequently..

The downside is that to take advantage of every opportunity takes time, and there are only so many hours in the day.
Make a list. Prioritize. Decide what has to be done today or you'll lose out. Do urgent first, important second, and un-urgent/un-important never. (Just make sure that Tako and Ika aren't un-important :-)
We have the same problem in the programming world. Ideas are easy; code takes time. I have 10 times more ideas than I have time to write. I could lament the stuff I don't do, or I could be happy for the stuff I do. Sometimes I still lament the stuff I don't do. There's a project that's been an untouched #2 priority for three months now. I could write that, or I could hang out with the spouse. Spouse always wins that battle. Spouse is more cuddly than compiler errors.
Barring that, I hope you are able to get some R&R so you can feel better. You have so much creative fire. You truly amaze and inspire me.
