How do you recover from burn out?
I have no energy, will bounce back but
Sometimes its a day at a time, minute at a time, to keep working.
Just feel flat.

How do you recover from burn out? I have no energy, will bounce back but Sometimes its a day at a time, minute at a time, to keep working. Just feel flat. The weird flat feeling and when you stop can't figure out what to do, hard to get into anything, burnout, max,.. mad max. If you feel this way when you stop for a bit, then it just stands to reason that when you are working, that it isn't all there either. Great way to make mistakes that cost even more time to fix. Just isn't worth it and is only recommended for slaves and the like, beat the drum... If you take a day off and feel clear headed, then it's safe to say that your work reflects that. The very best you can do is go until you need a break, not when you feel like dropping, when you're having to drag your ass along behind you to get anywhere. It's what the entire concept of taking a break is about, so you can refresh and go back to it, getting more done. Tired is just going through the motions and not really getting more done if it is a continuous without a break. Nobody should work themselves that hard, it just makes for more work because it's just that much harder to do so it takes even longer to get things done.

Taking a few minutes off here. I feel guilty about it, that says something.
Things are really out of control, its whack a mole. And my mind has locked on the audition process, yes the timing is bad for me, but at the same time its good.
Its just a bit much to have a job managing the real estate stuff, a probable eviction, another eviction just completed that did not require legal intervention, and turn over, as well as HOA compliance issues and major hurricane damage still needing repair. Add to that starting a part or full time free lance estimating job to address the 50K in debt we incurred from the real estate Irma disaster and you have a recipe for trouble.
I haven't had time to cut my nails or paint my toes, I threw that audition together but vocally was rough because all my theater time was swallowed by the real estate and other job.
So, I need to wrestle balance into it again, at least with the theater excercizes which energize me, the music playing which soothes me.
Today is about the care of our own house, the pool is dark green, I'll pump it out, at least get it to swimmable again, mow the foot long lawn.
I need the resolution of the car and of the show. If no contract I have an extra two weeks to work with, but no money coming in. If contract, its a chance to decompress but in high stakes deal, and theres some ok money that will come in. It would be professionally huge to do that role, or even to do a chorus role.
It will play out, but the energy needs to be fed.
Music, that energizes, discipline, food, self care. Even a shower at the end of the day would be huge right now.
And being me. I am being me right now, I work as a male, downtime, its trans female all the way.
I find it amuzing somehow that trans women are expected to be a certain way or perceive themselves a certain way. I think there wouldn't even be a "nonbinary" if folks were rigidly honest for the most part- BUT - there are binary transwomen that are woman through and through and I know a bunch of them. And its real.
But not for me, and I'm totally trans.
Digressing. Yes, I keep asking, what will increase the quality of our lives today?
But at times, I am so tired I can't even begin to start.
I wish I could take a day off. I think today is a day off, but I have to pick up the pieces at home here, its a wreck of neglect.

Struggling with exhaustion today. Estimating, dragging a bit, quiet music playing.
Really the body is just breaking down from the combination of stress, work, and some of the uncertainty of NY.
We'll get through it somehow.
