breathing, that's my plan.

So I've been stressed and busy and in "head down and barrel through it" mode since ... well, March, really, but it didn't take serious hold until May.

I think unconsciously I was hanging on until August, when the school year would start for all of us. The problem there is that it was unconscious. I have a tendency to "hang on until X happens, after which I will be able to do Y" (italics for emphasis). This time I was just hanging onto August, and I have no idea what Y might be (other than surviving the inevitable grading death marches).

Thus, I am at loose ends now that we have successfully navigated a week of school. I mean, there's a lot of stuff around here that needs doing, I need accessories for the wedding, and I have a story to revise, but ... I don't know what to do.

It's weird. I'll figure something out, for sure, but it puts me a little off and a little on edge.

I feel like I'm just getting into my 'head down and barrel through' mode now that school is starting back. I did all this cleaning to get ready for the new semester and now its like...I'm buckling down the hatches and getting back into a glove that's really snug and tight around the wrist.

That's a good image for it. I'll be back in the mode in about 3 weeks or so, but right now it feels weird.
