-I have had zero motivation to do, well, anything this week. I haven't even read any books! The only things I've done are shop a little and watch TV a lot (in, ahem, unrelated news, I have finished the entire series of Buffy the Vampire Slayer). I have done some work for Wild Fables and my part-time pay job, but other than that I've just been existing.
-I think this is because I haven't given myself a vacation in ... I don't even remember when. I'd take a day off every week or so and call it my "weekend," but over the past six months I've written a novel and then wrote a different book and revised it and revised another book and worked on Wild Fables and then revised some more, and every time I finished a project I'd jump directly into the next one. This is what burnout is, I think.
-I haven't even been online much. Or exercised much. Or ... you get the idea. I think this funk is finally starting to ebb, and I hope next week I will wake up with an urge to do something. Anything. Visit museums, whip my apartment into shape, get back to taking long walks in the sunshine. Read!
-One thing I am doing is going to the shooting range again this afternoon. Will I cry? Time will tell ;-)
-Anyway, so I'm giving myself another week off, and am refusing to let myself feel guilty for taking a much-needed rest (anyone else do that?).
-Jumping topics, I am starting to want to wear dresses a lot. Who am I? I have NEVER been a dress person, but now every time I go shopping (and I have been shopping a lot lately since I loathe everything in my closet) I come home with another dress. And I try on clothes that I KNOW I would have snapped up a couple months ago, and now I think they're not my 'style'. What!? Who gave me a clothing lobotomy?
-Question for you: which part of your chocolate Easter bunny do you eat first? This year I ate his nose first. Not sure what that means, but it was tasty!
-Okay, off to shoot some targets and NOT shed any tears over it! Happy Friday, everyone!

Good luck at the shooting range. I'll bet you'll do better this time.
Enjoy your vacation. Everyone deserves some time off for good behavior.
Yay, dresses! I basically live in dresses in the spring and summer so I'm happy that you've jumped on this bandwagon!
And you're much braver than I am for going to the shooting range again! I gave up after shooting ONE shot with Justin's pistol. Haha.
@ Maria - Thanks :) I did do much better this time, and wasn't nearly so nervous.
@ Caroline - You must encourage me to wear all my new frocks! And you should definitely try pistol shooting again; the second time was so much easier (I was way less freaked out this time). And apparently I'm pretty good at it? Gene is joking that he's going to make sure not to make me mad anymore, lol!
