To say that today has been rough would be an understatement.  Upon waking up, and realizing that it was Wednesday already – not Tuesday afternoon as I had hoped, I immediately felt like crap.  Twenty some hours of sleep has that effect.  Since this morning, my mood has been swinging ever so rapidly from profound, almost suicidal depression to a hypomania the likes of which I have not experienced in a long time.  In between extremes I have been lucky enough to experience both at once!

I am a mess.  Work + School + Daily living is too much to handle at one time, at this time.  I feel like a failure for thinking it, let alone saying it.  That does not diminish its accuracy, however.  Time to do some scaling back.  Hopefully I will soon be able to get some downtime, however short lived.

Jonathan Schwartz’s reminder about the difference between computers and humans comes to mind.  And with that in mind, I think I will make downtime my #1 priority for the rest of the week!
