Break to avoid Breakdown!

 Que horror!…all my plans went to hell today. I feel an immense amount of guilt! 

One minute I was up and happy, the next, I am down with a splitting migraine! the kind that forces me to be in total darkness because even the light hurts. 

I tried to push through, kept working, as soon as I was off, took a pill for headache. It made me sleepy, went to bed and slept for a couple of hours. 

I just woke up and although the headache is gone, I still feel drowsy and a bit stupid. Hate the side effects!!  

Once again, my body is forcing me to slow down and rest. 

Yesterday, I was supposed to rest and take it easy, after I spent the week working nonstop. Instead, I woke up early, went on a strenuous hike, spent a lot of unnecessary time in traffic. I came  home and instead of resting, I did a few shores around the house. Drove to the art store to get new brushes and a canvas. Spent a lot of time looking for parking around Van Ness. The only space available was 3 blocks away and up in a hill. Came home past 7, instead of resting went straight to the studio to paint. Painted  for hours, didn’t stop after 11:30 pm. Today, I got up at 6:30 am for work…GIRL! WTF?  🤨 are you trying to kill yourself? 

In a way, although I’m super disappointed, I’m glad my body forced me to rest. Still, the amount of guilt I feel is unreal..!! 

If only I could learn how to take a break! 

Thinking I need to write this down and put it on the wall or somewhere visible: 

TAKE A BREAK BEFORE YOU BREAKDOWN! 

going to bed now, until tomorrow world!!
