The State of Mel
Sometimes, life gets a bit overwhelming. Sometimes, things feel so out of control and crazy that it becomes all you can do to simply get through them and out the other side intact. Lately, life has been like that. This week, however, has been the opposite. For the first time in what feels like a very long time, I have been relaxing.
I am staying up late playing Mexican Train with the boys, I read The Omen Machine in just under 4 hours the other night, I take a nap whenever the mood strikes me, and I eat whatever I want, when I want it. All the rules have been off. Yesterday morning I did a little grading, but the moment I didn’t want to do it anymore, I stopped.
We are at the halfway point of the vacation now and I’m starting to feel a little pressure to do some more grading today… to slowly ease myself back into the world of the productive and regulated. But slowly mind you.
Mostly I am trying to be in the moment, be grateful, and breathe.
