I can't tell if I'm glad I've rested enough to feel bad about flubbing guitar, Japanese, and writing last night, or if I'm cranky because I flubbed all three. So I guess writing this down will serve as my reminder, this is not a reflection on me as a person. This is not something to be ashamed of. Most likely it means that the last grammar point didn't stick or I didn't understand it as thoroughly as I should have and I was too drained to do much of anything requiring brainpower. Pick myself up, try again, and if it still doesn't make sense, ask for clarification because the resources and people are there. That's what asking is for.

... Oi, sometimes I have serious problems with pride and/or arrogance. And holding myself to stupid standards. This is one of those I'm not Superwoman and there is nothing wrong with that moments, isn't it.

Okay. Well, and I got 8 hours of sleep last night, which never happens during the week. So hopefully that helped, and there will be no link roundup today, so hopefully that will help. I don't think anything was scheduled for today anyway. I hope. Depending on the results of meetings yesterday stoppit Jag we are not thinking about politics today. We are focusing on languages and writing because it is better for us. And possibly will lead to us not talking in the plural. Ahem. God, I'm rested and still getting punchy. Deep breath. Fake worlds are so much easier to fix than real ones.

"Too tough
Oh we won't break
Enough
'Cause when you make

Dark shadows
The young pros
They blow and come back tenfold

We don't need ropes to climb the walls you build
Ideas and passion break the bricks with guilt
Man up!"
-- The Blue Van

Okay. No, no link roundup today, not unless I get tweeted something that sets me off again. I have too much writing and editing to do.

And, really, people are right. There is nothing bad, wrong, or shameful about making a mistake, adding too many things to do onto the pile, tripping and falling, that's why we pick ourselves back up again and start over. It's time for the weekly apprentice courtesan meditation anyway, so I'll pick at that for a bit and get my head on straight and, um. Something. I need to have a rest, and preferably before Friday, but I do have writing deadlines. That's a quandry. I'll figure that out, but clearly I need to take more time to recharge myself.

... And just how obvious WAS that to everyone over the past few days? That I need a break or to give myself a break, one of the two. Have I really been getting that scattered and not noticed? ... because if so, damn.
