I feel like I’ve been unplugged from myself, from my soul, during the last six months of doing nothing but work every waking hour.
I took last weekend off. I didn’t work Monday night, or last night, and I’ll do a little more tonight but otherwise I haven’t really worked tonight either. I have a specific goal to try and force the work I must do, to get done with the resources I have: me 10 hours a day and three full-time contractors and whatever vendor resources I can outsource to. So far, this is not working at all, and I’m panicking over all the work I’m supposed to be getting done… and isn’t getting done. But I have faith that if I really want to work normal hours, and I have some resources, that I can make it work. I just have to not let the initial panic during adjustment period send me back to working all the time, or circumstance will not be forcing me to find smart solutions, since I’ll be solving it with the extra time (‘hard’ solution) instead.

It’s still rare for me to intentionally expose myself to UFOlogy lit, despite many experiences clearly in that category. Recently I read “Into the Fringe” by Karla Turner and put some notes about a few little syncs in Bewilderness, over on my Red Cairo blog: http://www.palyne.com/blog.redcairo/into-the-fringe/

I hope within several days to be back to meditating and posting here.

Glad you mentioned Red Cairo blog–didn’t know you were posting there anymore. Will check it out tonight.
Funny, I’ve been thinking about this exact same thing. I’m not overworked to the extent you are, but I feel ground into the dirt with it, and having no car and working from home is driving me nuts. I can’t wait to move somewhere more central.
Ironically, after nagging you, I am becoming more like I suggested you not do. What with the new feather selling business and my regular job, I am putting in like 80 plus hours per week. Still getting in ok amounts of sleep, but not much time for doing anything else and it’s starting to get really boring!
You see how easy it is to get lost in that!
