I Am Running Out of Steam

posted Thursday, 11 June 2009

     I am running out of steam, people. I am pooped. I don't even have the energy to write a coherent post let alone keep up with all the crap I'm supposed to be doing.

     I feel like I haven't found a rhythm to my days since I've been working so much and it's throwing me off. I'm still adjusting to the extra hours and I'm really feeling it. Maybe once school is out I'll be able to fit in a little more rest/blog/housework time. Until then, I'm afraid I'm just going to have to let some things go, for instance all those unopened emails in my inbox (435 at last count).

      But that's OK, right? It's all about learning how to prioritize. At the moment it's sleep, work, family, and cyber life, in that order. Notice I didn't even mention housework or weeding, both of which are out of control. And exercise--I think that missing working out a couple of days a week is playing a part in my generalized fatigue, but some days there simply is no time or energy to do it. Sigh. Maybe I should go to the gym when I'm done writing this. But I need to make dinner. And spend a little time with my kids (and don't forget Lola). What to do, what to do?

     I suppose a few energetic songs might help the situation in the meantime!

The Little Ones--"Cha Cha Cha" mp3 off Sing Song (buy)

Passion Pit--"Sleepyhead (Jazz Step Remix)" mp3 off Manners (buy)

The Faraway Places--"The Sun Goes West" mp3 off Out of the Rain, the Thunder and the Lightning (buy)

p.s. Whatever you do, don't search "pooped" in google images. Why in god's name do people take those kinds of pictures? Wtf??

making a note not to search "pooped."

I hear you loud and clear. I think I've been pooped for an entire year, even though I quit my job! wtf?

My blogging is very spotty, and it's all I can do to read blogs and keep up with Facebook! I am exercising, though, and feeling energetic throughout the days. In the evening, though, I crash quite quickly!

It IS ok. You do what you have to do, and the rest is gravy!

It gets a bit like that doesn't it? I'm sure once you adapt to the new changes you'll find your rythym again. Hang in there!

Oh, I'm so with you on this! I've been trying to post every week day at least, but damn... it's getting hard. I like the idea of making my blog grow, getting more readers, but the reality of making that happen is just a whole lot of fucking work sometimes, it seems!

On the other hand, I get some beautiful music in my box that I feel so bad for not blogging about, and I go to some shows that I just really want to write about because a. I had such a great time, and b. the musicians were so wonderfully wonderful. So, sometimes I just get started and my own enthusiasm just takes over. Other times I do just a shortie post with a track and a few sentences and say, oh well...

Everyone blogs for whatever reason they do, and whenever they do and I think we read what blogs we do for a lot of reasons. I read some because I want to keep up with people, others because I really dig their music taste, some because I love the way they write and quite a few because of all those reasons combined. So... just do what you will, we'll be here, sweetie, xoxox

agnes--i'm hoping that i find it soon, coz i'm not doing so well as it is! :)

tart--i hear you about wanting to grow your readership and write about all the wonderful music you get sent and that you go see, but holy crap, that takes a lot of time and effort and seeing as we both do this on the side, it's almost impossible to imagine doing! i had a regular posting schedule for quite a while but it's kind of gone by the wayside in the past month or so. but that's life and i'm certain to figure something else out sooner or later, right? the ebb and flow of it all . . . i just happen to be ebbing these days!


all mp3s are for sampling purposes only. you like it? you buy it. you want me to take it down? let me know. and for the uninitiated, if you wish to listen to a song, click on the little blue arrows and they will stream. thanks, your host and music lover, mjrc.

WANT TO GET IT BY EMAIL?
