Ramblings

I'm so glad this week is over. I'm burned out from work. Don't get me wrong, picking up extra side work is worth it, and I'm going to be just fine (my mantra for when I get tired). But I think it's important to acknowledge when you have reached the end of your rope, so to speak. It helps you shut down for a while, take a breather, to recharge. I so need to recharge. Balancing a full time job and freelance writing a dozen articles per week gets to be tiring on my eyeballs and brain. I know it's going to get better though, with some eventual balancing of my schedule.

So, I've been listening to this on repeat:



I know it's sad as hell, but this is the kind of music that I live for (re: Ray Lamontagne all day every day).

And I just recently downloaded this book I mentioned before (so far it's AMAZING):

And I'll be drinking a ton of tea, cider, and coffee while hanging out at my house. For once I want nothing on the agenda. I'll probably have to write a few articles though, but that can wait at least until Sunday. Also, I want to carve some pumpkins and watch The Nightmare Before Christmas!! Alright, enough boring weekend plans.

I hope you take some time to unplug too, if you need it. Breaks are crucial to maintaining a balance of sanity, in my opinion.
