These past two weeks have been a whirlwind and I have had absolutely zero energy, like it's all I can do to read and unwind at the end of the day before I fall asleep. Luckily, this weekend has been low key, and I've done a lot of introverting to counteract all the extroverting that I've had to deal with. I like a good balance of both, and I've been on overdrive with some volunteering that I do and I needed a break, both physically and mentally (I've been so drained that I gave up my ticket to go see Marvel Universe Live with my husband and kids today just so that I could rest in the quiet).
The only fandom interaction that I've really kept up with is commenting on what I've read, which hasn't been much and I find myself leaving windows open on fics to remind myself to go back and comment. Only today did I open google docs to work on writing, and I didn't get very far, although there was a prompt that I was working on in my writing journal that had stalled, and I figured out that it worked better from a different point of view, so that was progress.
I feel like I have some catching up to do, so I'm off. My goal this week is to not let myself get so burned out that I don't have the energy for the things that I really enjoy.
