It's a serious wakeup call to one completely drained writer. I've been going in circles, no longer able to get anything accomplished but not quite lucid enough to stop for recharging time...but you've inspired me. I'm planning to disappear into my room with a smelly candle, a Bach CD, a bag full of lovely-colored yarn, and a crochet hook for some serious refilling of my creative pond! Best wishes for your pond to be filled to overflowing this week. :) CherylCheryl Reifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01717232463223093632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411759600837193508.post-43256086008028265012009-02-26T09:00:00.000-08:002009-02-26T09:00:00.000-08:00I'm glad you survived your code 99!!

It's been all output the last few weeks and I'm wondering why the well is running dry? Today is the day I have my niece over to watch the baby for a few hours. Instead of taking that time to check off my to-do list, maybe I'll clean my room...alone! A Zen exercize for me, I assure you.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411759600837193508.post-6899006979840608422009-02-24T07:27:00.000-08:002009-02-24T07:27:00.000-08:00Thanks for sharing, in such great details (love th...Thanks for sharing, in such great details (love the lurching toward coffee, alert wreck bit esp.) your Code 99. Glad you took time to replenish. My last week wasn't as bad but when I lay down for a short nap on Sunday afternoon on the couch, I stayed in that position for two hours.

Total recharge--I didn't even know that my weeks were that crazy, but apparently they were. I've started to compare my mental state to one of output or input, and I guess I was way too much output (to other people, projects, worry) that month. Input: just lie and take in a story or information. <BR/><BR/>Glad you had your day. Congrats on being smart enough to take it! And thanks for coming by my blog to help people out. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411759600837193508.post-56270783923870789112009-02-24T06:45:00.000-08:002009-02-24T06:45:00.000-08:00Your writing, and your outlook, made me smile toda...Your writing, and your outlook, made me smile today!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
