Broken Brain

You ever go through periods where you know what you should be doing, but you still find yourself super lost? Totally me lately.

Most days I didn’t know my left from right as it was. Now I spend my days trying to get the gears in my brain to just move. It seems the smallest things set me off on a whirlwind of “What’s happening right now?” I’m so lost! Seriously, my brain isn’t working like it used to.

At this point I don’t know if it’s me turning 44 a few weeks ago, or a total lack of sleep, or anxiety of not wanting to fail grad school, or too much going on with life, but I feel like my brain is broken. And like everything else in my life, it’s totally bad timing.

I can’t seem to get anything done at home no matter how hard I try. Lately, my Saturdays are spent on the mezzanine of the school library. God knows I do not want to be here, but it’s the only way I’m going to make it through grad school. I found my perfect table in the library that sits right across from the windows. It’s quiet, but not too quiet. It’s insane how much I get done by just changing my workspace. I will not be defeated!

So, if you’re trying with all you can, I see you. And I raise my Starbucks cup to you. We’ll figure it out at some point, right?

Now excuse me while I get my tail to work. I’ve got a presentation on Tuesday.
