I am sorry to hear you are feeling ill!! I hope you are able to get some rest (somehow through all the work and Michaeling lol) and start to feel better soon!
I am completely the same though. I am terrible at prioritizing my own self care when it comes to the things I get excited about. I've always been like this. I dive so deep into my passions and lose myself for awhile. I have no comprehension of the word "balance" and it's exhausting to live this way. Maybe some day I will just accept this and reach that "I'm erratic and I don't care" nirvana you are describing. I can only hope.
Also, I very badly want to learn about this wrist fascination, but that can wait for another time lol.
LOL oh boy
So two things:
1) It takes me about a millisecond to form a thought that I immediately want to share. I'm like this in all conversations, verbal or written. I very badly want to learn the skill of sitting with something and mulling it over, but my reactions tend to be quite instantaneous and I fear it often shows lol.
2) I have a supremely busy weekend with back-to-back family visits, while desperately needing to catch up on my grading, which is terribly backed up and since it is all student writing also, unfortunately, extremely time consuming. Next week is a treacherous work week as well, so my expectations are that I won't be able to participate as much as I want to (though, we'll see how those priorities shake out in reality...perhaps I will abandon my entire life in worship of Michael...let's hope not
).
