Ooowee...I feel better!
Wow, I just read Corina's post from Saturday (i didn't turn the computer on all weekend, good for me!) - she's going thru (although a much more severe case) what I was going thru last week - I think we both needed to decompress and not try to jump back into things too quickly...I just emailed her and told her to take a few days off..one of the things that she noticed that I would do in Murano would be to just go back to the apt in the evening when I knew I needed some 'down time'...I know myself well enough to know when I'm feeling pushed to the edge and can't take anymore information...she said she admired my ability to recognize this in myself, and that she was always afraid she'd miss out on something that everyone else was doing - well sure, there's that, but there's also running yourself so thin that you can't do *anything* right the next day...I would stay at the studio till midnight with everyone one night, and the next, I'd go back and make dinner and enjoy a quiet evening w/ bad Italian TV...it was just what I had to do to get thru the next day, when in fact we'd stay at the studio till midnight again...so even tho I missed a late night here and there, I was still able to function well each day...I don't wish her any ill will of course, but I must admit I was amazed she could jump back into the fray upon returning, making beads and posting on eBay when I was a bit of a Zombie...I guess it hits all of us in different ways, at different times...
Alrighty then - I've taken the weekend off, and I'm 'back at work' today...I feel better and am ready to get things done...first thing, I'm going for a walk in this cold and wet weather...while in Murano, we walked *everywhere*...and my body actually got used to it..I'm rather sluggish when I'm home and stomping around the house during the day, since I don't actually DO much exercise...
so I thought why not take advantage of the 'intial burn in' that my body has already experienced in the two weeks of being gone (not to mention all the dragging of my suitcases around the airports, etc...its all exercise) and keep the momentum going...so even tho its cold and wet out, i'm dressed and ready to go...I'll be back to update the Freebie section, and get more pics optimized...those are my two goals today...oh, and I'll get some emails responded to, although they might be kinda short, since I have a LOT to get thru...
We did find a new TV for our DDR mats, and we tried out the mats on Sat morning - they are fun and I look forward to when they're hooked up permanently in the studio...but we have some rearranging to do before then (nothing like a trip to the Pottery Barn outlet to make you have to rearrange furniture) and I have lots of delivery guys scheduled this week to handle the cable/tv problems...eventually it'll all be done, I'm hoping by Friday...but no DDR till then...
See ya'll in a few...time to go shiver and get wet...fun...
