You know… that Blog?

Total burnout!

Written By: Jenn - Nov• 14•11

Oooooohhhhh I am so burned out. I have absolutely NOTHING to talk to you about, and if it weren’t for my Haiku group, I’d probably drop out of sight for the next while! I haven’t visited anyone, either, and I feel sucky about that too. Do you still love me?!

Oh there I go, getting all angsty on you. Sorry about that.

Went for a massage on Friday, and the RMT (registered massage therapist) kept saying things like “Wow, how are you even able to work?” and “I’ve never seen this level of tension before!”. I knew I was stressed, but he found knots on top of knots and said I was like solid rock. I told him that it was “just my upper back and neck” when he was getting started, and he laughed and said “Wanna bet?” And wow… did he ever work on me. I knew it was going to hurt, but holy smokes! I was unprepared for a solid hour of torture. I had to go out on the weekend and buy epsom salts so I could soak some of the soreness out, but I still feel it 3 days later. It’s ok, I know it’s going to take some time! It took years to build it up, and it will take time to work it out. I have a standing appointment every Thursday morning for the next couple of months, in fact! The hubby ran his hand over my back when we woke up on Saturday and went into convulsive laughter when I shrieked. What a way to wake up, eh?? Big jerk.

Anyway, I have no plans to drop out of sight, and SHW will continue un-interrupted, but I thought I’d let you know where my head is these days. Need to work on myself for a while before I can come up with anything profound to write about!

Sensational Haiku Wednesday

Sensational Haiku Wednesday

Welcome to “Sensational Haiku Wednesday!”

Click here for info and background on this weekly event!

The basics:

Haiku is simple! It is 3 non-rhyming lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively (a great way to use your fingers!)

This week’s theme is: Fleeting

    Dangerous thinking
    Treading on thin ice again
    Let it be fleeting

Want, but do not touch
Meditate and hesitate
Wonder, but abstain

    Youth, beauty, power
    Gifts that do not last too long
    Enjoy while you can

Fleeting time; childhood
Cherish, enrich, celebrate
Time passes quickly

 

Folks, a quick note about comments: A few of you don’t have Name/URL enabled on your blogs, and I CAN’T comment in that case. Take a moment to enable that, will you? There are other ways to combat spam and still allow people with their own domains to leave their homage to your greatness ;)

Next week’s theme: Meditate


Note: Nothing makes me happier than to see new people getting “hooked on haiku”! Keep it going to make it to the Hooked on Haiku List (if you’re not listed and should be, please [politely] let me know!)

To participate in this week’s event, please use the following code in your post on your own blog (if you don’t have a blog, post your Haiku as a comment):

    Coalesce, create

Talent, training, work
Instinctual responses
Excel and Conquer

    Terrific knowledge
    Infinite reality
    Become one with it

Excel, the spreadsheet
OCD Workaholic
Need to take a break!
