Exhausted

I'm stretching myself a little too thin these days. I have a bit too much on my plate. And as a result I am not getting enough rest and I am not taking enough breaks. I am thisclose to hitting my limit. But, fortunately, I have enough mental strength to not completely fall apart.

Last night my exhaustion decided to present itself to me directly. I was so tired, in fact, that a had to leave early a fun event that I had been looking forward to for a couple of months. I just didn't feel like myself and I needed to go home and go to bed. I was bummed but it was the right thing to do.

Thankfully, I have gotten to the point in my life where I pay more attention to the clues my body gives my that I need to slow down. I don't want to slow down. I don't want to break for even a minute. But, clearly, I need to. I just can't keep up this pace. Not for very long, anyway.

But it's been so fun and exciting and satisfying. I'll do my best not to over-extend myself too much but what is it that they say? I'll sleep when I'm dead. As long as that doesn't come any time soon I'll be okay.

Sign That You Are Over-extended or Over-committed of the Day:

You wish that it didn't take so long to take a shower in the morning. Or drive to work. Or eat lunch. Or brush your teeth at night. Or.....

Yeah. Maybe wanna try and slow things down some.
