So, I’ve been feeling a bit off the past couple of weeks. I’ve been trying to do way too much and it caught up with me earlier this week. I feel like I’m starting to snap back, but it’s been a wake-up call, a reminder of what I went through last year — and what I need to do to avoid feeling this way.
Why is it so easy to take care of everyone else but so hard to take care of me?
Here’s an adorable image of Pocket Loki from the Tumblr site Over the Bifrost:
That plaque is pretty appropriate for the way I’ve been feeling lately.
So if Loki is bringing the stress, who do I talk to about getting rid of it?
Maybe Thor?
Okay, not Thor, then. Jeez, he’s as stressed as I am.
How about Hawkeye?
Okay, getting warmer. Who else can we add to the team?
Cap?
Sounds like we’re getting there. One more should round out our crew.
Coulson?
Yep. I think we’ve covered.
(I hope you enjoyed reading this post as much as I enjoyed making it. Also, none of the images/GIFs are my work; I tried to link back to the source, but I apologize if I’m stepping on anyone’s toes.)
The past few weeks, my life has felt a lot like my favorite scene from The Simpsons:
I’d make progress, then something bad would happen. I’d get a good surprise, then a bad one. It’s exhausting.
Last week’s surprise was a very, very bad one. It’s entirely possible that the situation will resolve itself with no lasting damage, but there’s work to be done to fix the issue, and then it will be a few weeks before we know the outcome. And in the meantime, it’s weighing on my mind and leaving me somewhat frazzled and depressed.
If you have a good thought to spare, send it my way. Because where can you turn when even the frogurt is cursed?
I guess I jinxed myself with my earlier post, because all my progress has ground to a halt… stupid health issues have left me tired and discouraged. I think about my stories, but can’t quite bring myself to work on them.
I’m currently re-reading the Harry Potter books in an effort to feel better. I’m nearly through the second one; it seems to help.
