Do you ever...

have those nights when you get home from work and you're too exhausted, mentally and physically, to bother changing out of your clothes, washing your face and brushing your teeth? because tonight could be one. it was a mentally draining day for me on several levels. no matter how much i work, i can't catch up. one thing after another piles up, and there's only so much i can do, and i can only work so hard without burning myself out, so it just keeps piling up. i can't even take a mental health day because when i come back, there's too much piled up from me being gone. i hate leaving for meetings because meetings mean a) i'm bringing back more work to the office and b) its 2 hours that i'm not at the office actually getting stuff done.

i'm going to go in and brush my teeth and wash my face, because i'll force myself to. but it would be so easy to just crawl into bed and wake up tomorrow morning.

That desribes my every night lately. I'm in bed by 7:30 a lot of nights. I pack the kids in and collapse.

Luckily, it's been a long while since that's happened to me. I hope you can get some reprieve on the weekend.

yes. almost every night. i force myself to wash though. new york is simply too dirty to not wash both morning and night. ill go to sleep uncomfortable if I don't wash.

but I am with you. sometimes it feels like a chore even though its supposed to help you unwind.
