Seriously, I am still doing fuck all. I was starting to feel better, less burnt out. But still..... I'm not doing anything. Oh, I occasionally do some vocalizing, maybe do some dishes, some yoga. Meditation has been an absolute train wreck lately.

Mostly though, my ass is firmly glued to the green couch. I'm doing nothing but playing scrabble and boggle on line while basketball plays in the background. Tonight's variations on a theme include vegan chocolate chip cookie dough and not finding Charles Barkley all that annoying. The Warriors have to win this game, by the way. Also, Dwayne Wade and Allen Iverson = hot.

You should be researching cloth diapering! Or babywearing! Or strollers! Or a hundred other things...

I feel the need to motivate you, mostly because I'm in the same boat. My nest is at the kitchen table, surrounded by two empty tea cups, a bowl of grapes, and a stack of books about a foot high.

I SHOULD be working on my PhD!

Or, preparing for my auditions, or doing some dishes, or my texes, or calling certain people, or hanging the art, or playing with my cats...... the list could just go on. I tend to be a Doer and pregnancy has completely derailed me - coupled with the month of Feb. But I think I've been burnt out for a long time and I'm only now forced to slow down and realize it.

NO SHOULD!!! No, no, no.

You're great.

PS-It's the basketball that's making your cranky, not the pregancy. :-)

You're too much Twig! Dood, Dwayne Wade! Too bad he falls down every time he shoots a basket.

i was under the impression that pregnancy was a full time activity....chill out while you can before you know it you will have no time to do anything that doesn't involve a child.

i sound like i know what i'm talking about...right?

You do seem to know what you're talking about! It's good advice. I'm trying to learn to chill in general.

Pregnancy pretty much wiped out my prior activity level too. Be gentle with yourself.

I'm trying. But somehow I have to get stuff done.... somehow. I mean, the days fly. It's like I have enough energy and focus to do one thing: I can have a voice lesson OR I can cook dinner. I can do the laundry OR I can read. Not both.

Hoo. Talking about it isn't so helpful. I can already feel myself working up into a panic after only a few sentences! Breathing.... breathing....
