running for zero

Another hundred-hour week. I'm so fucking tired I woke up crying today.

I can see the finish line from here, just out of my reach. A few more days and the deadline scramble is over, a couple of weeks and the catch-up mountains will be back down to molehills, a couple of months and I can actually relax -- sweet sweet vacation. Have a couple of beers. Hell, have a whole lot of beers. Sleep in. Clear the stacks of files and receipts and dustbunnies and clean my filthy house.

If I can remember how to relax. I've gotten to the point where I try to take breaks and I end up pacing through the house. I can't remember the last time I mediated. A year? Two?

My skin is breaking open again. I'm leaving tiny drops of blood behind me every where I go. The places where I am splitting open has moved up my feet and onto my hands.

When it reaches my head the dragon will burst out and devour everything in my way.

Sounds like relaxation is a little more urgent than your timescale suggests. Force the issue before your body does, eh?

I didn't realise you were that bad sweetie.

If you can find a couple of hours spare tomorrow night i will be pampering you.

Whether you like it or not.

Meditation. Do it daily, at least 15 minutes. It's good for you.
