So I make it through this fun lil' two month trial-by-fire. During that time, I watched work soak up more and more of my energy, invade my headspace, permeate me... and now it's passed. All the energy is coming back. I have this elevated level of operation in effect... and precious little in the way of outlets. It's like pulling the drainstop out of the tub... why can't the water just drain, at once, be done? No, no Reader, it has to drain oh-so-slowly...
So, I'm pushing the water down the drain, sending the energy to neglected places. Exercise, reading, socializing. But still... the pages can't turn fast enough. There aren't enough hours in the day for fun. I work out till I hurt, and I still want more. I expect activity level will eventually adjust, and things will plateau... but right now, I'm buzzy.
Spring's on the verge of... well, springing. Warmer. Thawing out, slipping free of hibernation. Pulse is quickening. Three cheers, more energy!
Get a little break at the end of the month. Back to Jet City for a weekend, then my birthday the following week.
35 trips around the sun. Still not homeless, insane, or imprisoned. Still alive, reasonably healthy. Still a lot of other things too, but I'm dead tired of negative shit right now, O gentle reader, so no more ugly. Energy Lad promises to do his best to use his power for good.
