I need/want a vacation/adventure
August 20th, 2009 by monnibo | Personal, Rant
Things are getting busy here. I’ve got a lovely snotty cold, and work is very busy gearing up for The Festival. I’ve been reading and knitting and fixing up my place more to keep myself sane, but I’ve been having mini-panic attacks. Well, not panicy so much as feelings of despair. I’m loving my job, and the apartment, and living on my own… but some days/weeks it feels like all I do is go to work 9-5, cook dinner, clean up afterwards, and then I’m too tired to do anything else. I’ve gained several pounds this summer due to pure exhaustion, and I have no muscles to speak of.
I’m sorry to bellyache here, especially after a week of quietness. But it’s my blog right? The summer hasn’t been a total bust. I love the job I’m doing … well the end result at least. It’s the 9-5 that’s bearing down on me. We’ve had lots of fun — my boyfriend and I have done lots of daytrips and some horseback riding too. It’s kind of that feeling that I’ve had no summer, but it’s mostly the terror that this is all the rest of my life will be — work and sleep. *sigh* I need to get out of this rut… starting with the blog!
Things to look forward to on the blog:
- yarn I bought this weekend
- 2 book reviews
- photos from the summer and Henry

I hear you! I hate the 9-5 too (although for me it’s 5.30). Get away for a weekend if you can. I did that last weekend and it was great! However, it’s harder to come back Monday morning.
Hope you find some inspiration.
Have a great weekend.

I’m so sorry you’re feeling down (and snotty). Lots of hugs and tissues.

I’m feeling sort of the same way. I love my internship, but working all day makes me tired. I’m sort of excited go back to school, just because my schedule will go back to being less working all the time. I mean, students do work all the time, but you can take breaks and not get in trouble :)

Oh my gosh YES! Yes yes yes! I feel the same way.

When you’re not sick anymore, you can work on getting a bit of exercise each day. Rumor has it that doing so will actually give you more energy (and a brighter outlook) so you can do more than just work, eat, and sleep!

I’m sure you will find the balance. Working, eating, sleeping, reading…its pretty much what I’ve been doing these days.
