Am I dead yet?
It sure feels like I am/was.
You’re probably wondering why I’ve not been posting. It’s a valid question, and I’ll tell you.
After three (count them) blizzards, plane schedule changes, waiting hours for luggage, family and friends in town, more people in the house than were planned because roads were closed, relationship troubles and no time to myself, I am dead.
See, believe it or not, I am a bit of an introvert. Or I should say, I’m a polarized socializer. I can be very outgoing and fun, but I need “me” time to recharge my emotional batteries and center myself. Lots of time. So when I am unable to get that, I get stressed, stretched out and very on edge.
I didn’t get any “me” time for 12 days or so. That’s a really long time to be strung out. I spent most of this week at work wishing for a nuke to hit my building. Seriously. Either that or civilization to end so I could just go home.
Add to that relationship issues. Rukia was supposed to go out to Kansas for the holidays with her little sis. But with the snow, they didn’t get out. So instead of three people in a two bedroom condo, there were five. Add to that, that when I get stressed out, I get on edge and push people away because I need space, and when Rukia gets stressed, she gets clingly, you can imagine how well that worked out.
So I somehow managed to get the shows done and out. Believe it or not, the show is pretty much my top priority. Rukia finally got out to Kansas this week. I recorded Friday night, and went to bed. I slept in until 11am on Saturday, got up, got theO show out, ate, tried to play some FFXII and then fell asleep about 12:30pm. Woke up at 6:30pm, ate some more, watched the live action Death Note and then played FFXII until midnight. Went to bed. Slept until 11:30am, got up, shoveled paths for the dog, cleaned, ate, went to my bi-weekly gaming session, got back, ate, and the show is exporting now.
I swear that I have pictures of the xmas tree and the yard with lots of snow, and I will post them, but right now the camera is upstairs and that seems way too far away. I’m finally just about fully recharged. Watched some Firefly with dinner, that always makes me happy. About ready to face the world again. Yay for weekends, I just wish they came more often.
Anyways, I’d love to stay and blog some more, but the show is done exporting, so time to start the show notes while I upload it.
Wow, you really need a longer vacation. Go fishing or something. Anything that lets you be alone. Hope you get some of your “me” time

Your just like me in terms of the me time.
That sucks that Rukia gets clingly when shes stressed as i could imagine it.
Ouch.
- Funny Muffinsaww poor ichigo. You are alot like sakura in the fact that she needs “me” time. If i dont leave her alone for a couple of hours everyday, shes gets emotional and grouchy.
I hope you feel better soon ^^
