I’m not sure why, but I have not arrived in the new year yet.
Well I’m here but so tired and close to climbing under the table and rocking back and forth that I might as well have stayed in 2015
I think the problem is escalated by the fact that Rob (the husband person) is not in 2016 either.
Reasons I can’t make the transition:
– We worked right through the holidays so there was no restart button pushed
– We didn’t get the year end bonus thing so there was no year end splurge, gift to self or fancy trip to make you feel like…aaahhhh reward for a year’s hard work
– The cleaning lady is still on leave and even though we have miraculously kept the house tidy, the extra cleaning during the December period has added to exhaustion
– Washing has piled up, which is likely to happen when you take on extra shifts to make ends meet and use the little time you have at home to pass out/watch your son play/both. The piled up washing makes you feel like your house is never actually clean also totally running out of things to wear.
– Going into a new year with hospitalised child doesn’t exactly make you feel amped and ready for a new year
– Tight finances and people not paying me for orders means Oh!Boy has not officially “started” for the new year
– Struggling with health issues (mostly the most uncomfortable eyes ever) but having to wait for Drs appointment at the end of the week
– Struggling with blog inspiration and blogging guilt
– Wanting to start some sort of health and fitness program but time and money are not on my side
Basically everything is in limbo… nothing can just get a move on already!
It all makes me very lazy to do anything but watch stand up comedy on Netflix while half heartedly catching up on the online classes I’ve missed.
I want to have a get up and go but no such luck!
I am just so tired all the time! Is it the heat? (It’s stupid hot by the way) The messy house? (Come back cleaning lady, Aidan is at school again…it’s better now) The financial tightrope (Trying to remember I chose this, I chose to spend this year and last working extra hard and putting all extra money into debts so our dream of a house can come closer) Is it my health (why are my eyes so sore darn it? Also is this a medical or an optometry problem?)
I seriously need a restart button right about now!
How did you restart? Any advice on dealing with burn out when most people haven’t even lit the candle yet?
