Stick a fork in me, I’m done

May 16, 2019 by Depression Is Not My Boss Leave a Comment

 I am worn out tired. Presenting five workshops in three days meant expending a huge amount of positive energy. And my support system was not traveling with me. I got home late this afternoon, ready to relax and re-charge.

But that was not in the cards, at least not yet. There are follow-up emails from the events. There is setting up the reservation page for the follow-up event. Oh, and empty the truck, getting the laptop, projector, banner and portable office brought back inside. And did I mention now I need to do laundry?

It seems I’ve brought home a summer cold, too. I noticed the tickle two days ago and have been trying to keep it at bay. While my voice did get a little croaky late yesterday and this morning, I was still able to talk and give my workshops. In fortune-telling mode, I was sure I was going to lose my voice and not be able to give my workshops. So glad that did not happen.

Going to bed early may be the plan. Yet I do need to finish the paperwork from my workshops. Getting that behind me will feel good and make whatever time I go to bed, the right time.
