Running out of steam

After an entire month of running, today I'm running out of steam. I've really earned my pay in the last few months, working non-stop, overtime, working other people's jobs while they sat in meetings. But I know where this type of excess ends - it's happened many, many times in past years. It's a cycle of overwork and collapse.

I know I should avoid the overwork thing, but at this time of the year I really don't have a choice. I could do with double the number of working hours in the day just to get everything done properly. I need to learn Dreamweaver properly, I need to find out how to do a decent image in various graphics programmes, I have so much other stuff that is only getting surface attention.

At the same time I have a household to run, a son to bring up WELL (without skimping on time with him), etc, etc, etc. To find balance between everything is a major mission.

I could feel a headache coming on yesterday and today there are other symptoms that my body has had enough. I suspect the symptoms will soon take over and I'll have no choice but to take a break.

That's just the way our bodies were made - overdo things and you're sure to know about it soon. There's no endless steam supply, you run out sooner or later. Just imagine if we didn't have those warning signals! We wouldn't last terribly long...
