dolariI am officially burned out. I give up today. Gonna just rest up, even though I STILL have some shit to do in San Antonio.
For the last few weeks I've been completely...what's the word....jumpy and anxious. Mainly because of my job. My 4 10 hour days are a breeze, but they're still 10 hour days, and I look forward to the weekends. Saturday is still comic day and that actually is quickly becoming a problem.
I still enjoy doing the comic, but after 4 10 hour days, the last thing I want to do is sit for 18 hours working on two comics in one day. But I can live with that, because I have my other two days off.
But for the last few weeks all of THEM have been taken up, too.
A couple of weeks ago I began to notice that I was getting anxious on the weekends. I was looking at the comics and going "Well...maybe I can fudge this here and take some time off before I have to do X on Sunday." That's why Closetspace has had a spate of 5 panel comics recently and the quality has gone down.
Well, after the big move last week, I had to spend time with the folks this week to get stuff and go get a hormone shot in San Antonio and whatnot...but...you know what. I hate to do this, but I NEED some break time. Especially since I just volunteered NEXT Sunday to help move Erin to her new apartment.
I cancelled with my folks (I'll still be driving down to SA for my shot, but coming right back). I need some break time, some unwinding. The comic is the only thing I can could squeeze for some extra time, but, I'm just not going to do that anymore.
One of my friends at Kinko's used to unwind on his Saturdays by filling a tub with hot water, and just soaking in it for eight hours. Top it off with some hot water every half hour or so to keep it warm, and just relax with the TV or a book.
That sounds like a REALLY good idea. Might even go see Sky Captain tonight. We NEED a break.
