I had noticed lately that I wasn't being as productive or energized as I generally am. I wasn't sure what was going on until Kent made me realize all the stuff that has occupied my time in the past two months.

It turns out that this whirlwind of activity from the first week of September on —both work and non-work related — have left me really worn out. This has caused my body and mind to go on strike; it seems like my body is refusing to budge out of this funkiness. Which is causing the apathy. Not good.

So I took today off from work and am going to have some me-time. I've scheduled a massage and plan on going clothes shopping too. And I may drive to Oak Ridge to try some of the ice cream Kent has been raving about. Now if only I weren't spending my own money doing this. (hi, Dad! I hope you're reading this!)

Hopefully this will do the trick or at least begin to partially undo the funk. And here's hoping I score some good clothing deals and actually find things I like and can afford.
