I swear stress is killing me... I'm at a point where it feels like my psoriasis will never calm down because of it (extra events make my skin feel like it was burning so bad the last few days), I ended up falling behind with my usual writing habits, and of course I screwed up with my better posting consistency. Well...I am still here, pushing forward as best as my exhausted totally drained self can. I hope everyone else if doing better than this, and if you're not, if you're out there struggling with your own battles, big or small, know that you are not alone. Keep on pushing. If you need a break, take some time to rest, then hop back in the saddle. We've got this. It's not until you totally give up that you lose. ~E.L.F.

Still recovering after my mum hijacked my birthday last week. And if you have a mum/family like mine, then it’s even more exhausting.

Love my kids because they are stronger than me, youngest didn’t come to say hi (she stayed overnight) only said bye from top of the stairs. Eldest talked briefly, but stayed in their room for nearly all of the stay.

I seem to have entered some weird manic phase where I can't stop thinking about projects I want to do. My brain is having some trouble shutting off at night and I either lie awake thinking about projects or I actually get up and continue working. This has to stop. I only have the mental bandwidth to work on so many projects at a time. And my body can't handle the diminishing sleep patterns.

How many active projects is too many? Where do you draw the line on work/life balance?
