MMHCI What day is it?

Posted By on July 5, 2021

Honestly it has felt like Sunday on repeat for the past couple of days.

It is the adjustment to Caroline being home and done with school rather than her going to school remotely at home.

I figured out that it is Monday July 5th, 2021. 

I think part of why I was off is because I worked yesterday.

I am not really liking the new interface with MS Word. I might get used to it. But right now it feels like the latest version of Clippie.

There is a word I am hearing more and more from both people and the media which is burnout. The use of the word doesn’t seem to be specific.

The actual meaning of the word in terms of people is Burnout: a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. It occurs when you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to meet constant demands.

Considering all we have been through; it is not surprising so many people are feeling burned out. 

We have been dealing with a lot of topics we probably don’t want to think about.

The stress of not knowing what was going to happen next month after month has collectively taken a toll on all of us.

I feel burnout right now. I am trying various techniques to get myself back on track. But I am feeling so tired and mentally drained. 

I am angry at myself because things are getting better but I still can’t get myself back up to speed.

Today Caroline and I are going to recover our craft space so we can get cracking on what we need to do before we leave for Raleigh. 

I must pull it form somewhere. I just hope I have the energy.

I just feel so tired and defeated because I cannot seem to get done what I should be able to do. 

Today I am working from point A to point B and beyond trying to get to the point that I can do what I need to do.

One foot in front of the other.

I am grateful for whatever I get done today.
