Okay; cards on the table time.: seanan

Okay; cards on the table time.

I'm tired.

I don't mean "Seanan needs a nap." I mean "crying at the slightest provocation, reciting primes to keep myself motivated to finish taking a shower, ready to curl up in a ball and die." So please. I am begging you here. I mean literally, I'm begging. Please...

...don't email me and then get angry when you don't get an instantaneous reply.

...don't ask why you can't have the next book NOW RIGHT NOW. I mean, unless your goal is seeing me cry. In that case, knock yourself out.

...don't tell me I'm neglecting my friends/social life/sanity when I don't come to your party. You know what? I know I'm neglecting those things. You know what else? I don't have a choice right now. I'm sorry. I wish I did. But I don't.

I am out of go. My candle is burning at both ends, and starting to melt in the middle. So handle me gently, do not prod me with sticks, and do not tell me I need to "take time for me." If the time existed, I would take it. It doesn't exist for me to take.

I'm tired.

In the interests of not turning a PSA into another source of stress, I will not be answering comments on this entry. Thank you for understanding.

May I gently suggest that you ignore the world for a while? Take care of yourself. Commune with the kitties, and just be. Whatever will help you rest and recharge.

Anyone who doesn't understand that at your gooey, sweet center you are human, and that humans get tired when they are superheroes for too long, can just go jump in a lake. A lake full of toothy nasty things. And leeches. And dreaded candiroo (or however you spell that scary South American fish that does unspeakable things in unspeakable places). Ha!

Ooo, the one that crawls up places that no fish was meant to crawl? *likes that one*

I'm sorry that people seem to think that they know how you should lead your life better than you. I've asked my cats to tell Tybalt to request your cats to give you extra snuggles.

I wish I could really send you sleep and calm and time, but since I can't I hope you can have some quality slack time in the next week, either brushing the ponies, or just relaxing and watching horrible things on SyFy, the better to restore things to equilibrium.

Aww no! You poor thing, take some time and do something fun. Recharge! We love it when you do reply but it's not mandatory but we value having a dialogue with, especially when it involves your amazing books.

Hope you feel more human soon! Go hug your kittehs, that always helps!

I hope that some time for you manages to fall out of the sky, into your lap, so you can recharge. O:(

I hope you can find some you time soon. It's no good to be to the point where you are.
I just read that napping is a bad habit that you should keep because short naps can help quite a bit. My suggestion is bury yourself under kitty and take 30 minutes here and there for yourself. But more importantly, do what YOU need to do for you, and I hope life chills out soon.

Once in a fit of creativity I managed to be working on 4 shows at the same time. I got them all done, but I also got bonus bronchitis and a visit to the ER for rehydration. It's not something I recommend making a habit of. Go to bed - now.

I hope you feel better soon. Get some sleep. We totally understand.

Here's a cute sloth yawning.

I will see if my friend Spell Binder can arrange things so that instead of you being out of "go", you will only be out of "goo". While it might be mildly distressing to be out of goo, it would certainly be an improvement over the current situation. And it would only take a single extra letter. (Submits application)

Yu knw, I've always wndered if there is a dwnside t such wishes. And where des he get thse extra letters frm anyway? I bet he steals them frm ther peple. Yu might think that the peple wuld ntice, but apparently nt.

Anyway - I hpe yur day becmes, if nt a gd ne, at least a smewhat better ne.

Electronic hugs are definitely fat free unfortunately but its all most of us can give you.

I am please your not replying to this thread.

I am also a bit worried given that you have a comic con coming up...

Try and be gentle on yourself.

*big hugs* That kind of tired totally sucks. I hope you feel better soon & I totally would not expect a comment reply even if you hadn't already said you won't be replying-- I'd much rather you use that time to sleep! Or, ya know, return to sanity. Or both! (Both would be best)

*more hugs*
