wanted: a little rest

when i am tired, my defences are low. trivial things seem to matter more than they should. rejections are harder to put across, simply because it takes up so much energy, energy which is depleted at the moment. saying no to the teacher who asked my little one to be her pageboy left a very bad aftertaste in my system. i am so pathetic at the moment.

the 10 days of holiday seem to have taken a toll on me. 10 days of sitting around, doing nothing but eating and phasing out, albeit in a totally different environment, is more taxing than my daily crazed runarounds.

i will like to stop for a little while, to slow down and watch the leaves fall, to sip a cup of coffee instead of always worrying about time running out. to take a deep breath and just let time pass. instead i multi-task and try to do everything. there are duties and responsibilities to perform.

i am so doggone tired.

After my holiday, I realised I took a break too complacent for my own good. I let my guard off and found it really difficult to get rid of the slack. And so I tried to do things that I should. I gave up and failed miserably over short attempts. And then I held on to the thinking that the more I act proactively, the mood finally comes back. And it did, albeit I do not know for how long.

I begin to believe that long holidays are risky. Just sharing what I feel at the moment. :) Hope you get your groove back soon.

dear monty: i do, once in a while. that's when people who cares about me should knock me on my head :-p

i do. i go for yoga and badminton once a week. stopped for the holiday, mayb that's why i feel so lethargic. i'm picking it up agn.

dear jonzz: thank you kind sir. i just add them as picture. what i wanted to ask you, is how do i move my 'comments' to the top of the page, beside the date so that the footer graphic will be the final thing for my post? the nwe template has a lot of widgets and i'm not sure which one moves the 'comment'.

dear may: haha. you mean as in out of body experience? kakaka. time away from my routine and everything else, i think u mean. i would love to......then who will do the things i do? it's difficult after u hv kids. mayb after i settle in2 post-holiday routine agn, i can find sometime for myself. :-)

dear pooh: heehee. midst new year blues then. or maybe post-holiday blues cos my holiday is over :-(

dear ian: meaning that i should continue to be proactive? i'm fighting a bug at the moment, so it makes everything doubly hard; esp reading yr complex comment :-p i get what u mean though...i think. i'm trying to get back to the routine and things shld get better after a while. the best part, though, is hearing that u r better. :-) i'll change yr sentence to 'long holidays to familiar territory where u let down yr guard are risky'.

Sorry, I have no idea. I think the new blogger restricts that kind of modification.

Dog Gone Tired. hee hee.

Mmmm... Annie's witch potion:

1. Lots of water (to drink)
2. B vitamins.. esp.. B-12
3. Deep sleep
4. Yoga?
5. A good book while sitting in a hot bubble bath.

:D
