Otherwise Titled: How to Tell You’ve Overbooked Yourself
I feel like there’s a trend in my blogs over the years. I look back over the archives of past blogs (SingsTheMagpie, Awaiting August, et. al.) and see all the big exams, papers, work deadlines I endured, only to see one real commonality.
Whenever I get stressed out or have too much on my plate, I literally make myself sick.
In the past few days, I’ve been doing back-to-back portrait sessions, along with my regular 40-hour weekly schedule. Oh, and my parents were here this weekend. That last part was fun, because my parents are awesome. However, with everything crammed into a tiny span of time, it’s gotten me sick.
I should have noticed the signs with my eye-strain induced almost-infection. Or the quality of “sleep” I’ve been getting. But today I’ve got the sore throat, exhaustion and snots to prove that I need to slow my roll.
As soon as I can, I’m slowing this mess down. What are you doing to take care of yourself this week?

I hope you’re feeling better now. It’s easy to forget then our bodies have a way of telling us we need to do something different.
Seriously! I am feeling much better, but I had an off week just feeling blah. I took the time I needed and didn’t work at all this past weekend (unheard of lately). Right as rain now! Thanks for thinking of me!
Awww you poor thing. You need soup 😘
When you get back from England/Scotland, you will have to tell me literally everything you did, because my husband and I plan on going in the next year or so!
I’ll be posting our itinerary. 💜💜💜
How long are you planning on being there?
I took a sick day today because was feeling under the weather. So important to listen to what both our brains and bodies are telling us – you cannot seperate one from the other!
If only we could! I’m very ready to take a day of nothing in the near future. 💜
