Day 4 - 31 -- A Little Bit Lost

Tuesday seemed slightly better than Monday. I had a bit more sleep, but still felt very weary through the day. Lectures worked better with the extra sleep. I found it more difficult yesterday with 4 hours of sleep that included 5 wake ups. The universe was trying to be ironic Monday, too, since the 8:15 lecture dealt with the impact of sleep disruption in aging adults. <sigh> The plans I've been working on seem to be overly convoluted, so I enlisted outside assistance. We'll continue that planning process tomorrow to check feasibility. My late work day ended with a meeting that I chaired. It went well with many comments and questions -- always good to see that engagement.

Decision making can be challenging, particularly when there seems to be an endless parade of hefty ones clamoring for attention and draining every last gram energy from within. Ignoring the situations can feel freeing briefly.  Yet, even when being ignored, they hang over your shoulder just out of sight waiting to blindside you. When feeling exhausted is becomes so much more difficult to deal with the day to day stuff that needs to be done.

A song that seemed to fit the feeling for the mid-part of the day -- all that decision stuff -- is shared tonight. The singer/songwriter has spoken about the lyrics, noting that they are about the feeling during a personal struggle. They emphasize the need to breathe, something I've been reminded to do recently by a couple of friends. <smile> Enjoy!

Note:  The video is not the best here, but the audio is good.

Lost -- Chantal Kreviazuk
