I've had an especially crazy week, and it finally just wrapped up. Now I get a few days of recovery before the chaos of next week. (Also, add in a dash of extreme burnout that I'm still navigating, a sprinkle of Projects that need to be completed this weekend, and a teaspoon of a Deadline in less than 3 weeks.) Alas.
I'm lying on the couch, and I swear my Au and my ADHD are squabbling about how to recover.
Half of me wants to melt on the couch for the next 12 hours. The other half wants to run around the house, screech, sing, dance, and wrestle with my dog.
I haven't figured out how to be the adult and get my halves to compromise when I'm in these situations. Whichever route I go is going to be marred by the grumpiness of the half that didn't get what it wants. And I ultimately wind up feeling [not enough] relief, no matter which half I decide to appease. Even trying to tell myself I'll do one and then the other doesn't seem to help, because whichever half didn't get to "go first" just winds up adding vinegar to whatever route of relaxation I start with, and then the other half adds salt when I start the other route of relaxation.
Sigh.
