I think I've figured it out...
Since returning from B&B I've been in kind of a slow-motion state...sure, i'm up and moving around, but I feel like I'm not getting anything done, while getting tons of stuff done...but I realized, finally, what is going on...I've got SO MUCH stuff to do that I'm kinda in a stasis position...I don't know what to do first, so I do nothing...I made a list last night of just the things I know I need to do - there are 18 items on the list, NOT including shooting the pics from my B&B projects, which I just added to the list, so that makes 19 things to do...and of course, they all need to be done in the next 24 hours...I need to prioritize them, but frankly they all feel like they should be done right now...and as such, I am moving in slow motion, trying to un-freeze my life and get things going...
I have been doing plenty of stuff in the meantime, that's whats so weird...cats to vets, lawns watered, food gathered, errands run, appts made, trips completed, packages mailed, emails answered, tires ordered, books read, kits found, junk hauled upstairs, suitcases unpacked, I mean, I have been DOING things...I just need to push apart the days, and get PLENTY of time to do the rest of these things...I'm glad I'm not going anywhere for the next while...anywhere far far away...
I'm headin' out to walk the dog and try to get 5 or 10 of these things knocked off my list...wish me luck!
DING! After reading this sad little diatribe, I took some action!! I made subheadings on The List of Thur, Fri, Sat, Sun and Mon...and I broke up all the tasks for each day, and guess what?!?!?! It looks like I can get this crap done in the next few days...I guess it doesn't ALL have to be done in the next 24 hours, as much as it FEELS like it does...I'm sure i'll be adding projects to this list, I can already think of emails that i haven't answered, but I can't do it all today...it'll all get done, and if it doesn't, it'll still be there...for another day...go to my happy place...chill out...its not a race...ahhhhhh...unwinding....

Post show ennui seems to be normal for all of us. I've been fighting it, and I know Anne has too. I've read on some other blogs about similar afflictions. I think it's the adrenalin letdown!
