My thoughts released; a mind set free |
|
These pages contain my thoughts, from meandering ideas and persuasions to deep cerebrations and serious mentations. Why, for what purpose? To release my mind and set creativity free. Somewhere inside the constraints of my mind dwells a writer, a poet, an artist who paints with words. In here I release those constraints and set the artist free. Perhaps, lost somewhere in the depths of thought, is a story or a poem, waiting to be written.

| It's been some time since I made an entry, again. Time is the biggest issue right now, along with motivation; I seem to be running short on both. But, on the bright side, I seem to have an over-abundance of procrastination... Summer is our busy season at work, more hours and longer days to cover the schedule. This year it started earlier than most. Normally we see the change right before Memorial Day and it continues through to Labor Day. This year we started picking up more hours in April. Similarly, we are continuing our extended hours past Labor day. At the current time it's looking like mid September before we end the double coverage at work. This has resulted in me putting in some long days, so even on my days off, I'm feeling very burned out and unmotivated. To counter the effects of work, I have been trying to get more fun time in on my days off. We did get in a few camping trips and have spent some time kayaking, which gets me out of the house and away from anything work related. It also keeps me from getting into WDC and makes it difficult to write. I find the biggest set-back is just plain motivation, I'm tired and burned out and just can't seem to get my imaginative mojo going. But, another few weeks and things should settle back down a bit at work. Less hours needed to cover the schedule and shorter days at work. We also have a nice vacation coming up; a full week off camping with friends. Hopefully, after we return from vacation and start our fall schedule, I can fall back into a nice routine of writing and spending time here, in WDC... |
| My last entry was back in March; way to long of a time span. Now, September is just around the corner and soon things will slow down a bit again. Even so, it's going to be a rough transition, since everyone is planning on taking a vacation. I suppose, since it was a rough transition into spring, this is kind of fitting. We started our extended hours earlier this spring, as well as double coverage, and to be truthful, I'm beginning to feel a bit burned out. I know the long shifts and busy days have contributed a lot to this, but even more is the reality that I don't really get any down time. Yes, there have been days off, and yes we did get in a few camping trips and some kayaking, but it's not the same as the time I need to unwind and relax. I am an introvert and need my alone time. This is the time I spend reflecting and writing, as well as staying in touch with myself. This spring and summer have not provided me with much time for anything, and even less time to myself, and I'm really feeling it. It is also evident in the time I have spent in WdC and in the fact that I have not done any writing for months. A couple more weeks and I should be reaching that light at the end of the tunnel, more time for everything, and most important, more time for myself. |
