Michigan.
Okay, so I know that joke isn't as funny as I'd like it to be. (Actually, a lot of jokes I tell/find hilarious really aren't that funny... you can ask any of my friends.) So let me try again:
My current state...
Eyes drooping, head tilted, sitting. Fingers poised over the keyboard for extended periods of time before inspiration comes as to what to write. Long, deep, lung-filling breaths.
Mind whirring at a million miles a minute while simultaneously being slow... I know how to describe it: disjointed. Thoughts that start but do not end. Stimuli that register, but then are quickly ignored or forgotten.
I think I'd call this state exhaustion. Which is truly a shame, because I'm hoping to leave tonight, driving as far east as I can. This state, though, is most definitely the result of sleep deprivation, of stress, of a list of obligations and responsibilities that does not seem to end.
Perhaps I should start taking care of myself first, before becoming so overwhelmed. Perhaps then I'll feel better.
