ebb + flow
i don’t know how obvious it’s been from my posts (maybe very?) but i haven’t felt like myself lately. specifically: i’ve been tired, irritable, and moody. normally, a good workout snaps me out of funks like these, but i haven’t even been up for my normal workout routine (or anything even close). the kitchen has been for the most part devoid of my usual creations, and the motivation to do pretty much anything not involving sleep, a couch, or cereal has been lacking.
no, i’m not pregnant. (and yes, i checked. that’s how off i’ve felt . . .)
i thought that i started off this week on a better note, but it turned out to be pretty much like the last one.
i don’t know. i slept 9 hours last night, missing out on this weekend’s long run (my just-japanese-straightened hair now precludes any further activity that might produce — gasp — sweat). i don’t DO things like that! or do i?
maybe it’s just my body begging for a little break. and perhaps i should take a cue from the rest of the world and just take one. thank you all for understanding!

it's amazing to me that youre able to function at such a high level as much as you do. i'm sure youre just feeling the effects of a very grueling past few months.
i should probably take a cue from the world too and rest a bit. but i'm sure that youre similar to me and our personalities make it so hard to do so!
I think you hit the nail on the head – you two seem to be going through an awful lot in life right now and your schedules have been so busy. Keep doing what you know…you'll be out of the "funk" soon!!
You need to bake some cookies and watch something really stupid yet fascinating on tv. Feel better!
Feel better, Sarah! I'm sure the world will seem a lot brighter when you two can relax and spend some quality time together. Miss you!
Definitely take a break, Sarah. Listen to your body and give yourself permission to do what you want for a bit…even if it's something that seems totally out of character. Hope you're feeling better soon!
Aw, I totally understand, I hope you feel more yourself soon!
