Powering Down

So I took a week off work, right? Wanted to rest, get recharged, not have anything to do with work. But one can’t stop being oneself, you know? The moment I stopped being the perfect academic, I became the perfect housewife. Cleaning like a maniac, organizing healthy, educational activities, doing endless loads of laundry, cooking something new for each meal, scaring the cat by cleaning the litter obsessively. By nightfall on Sunday I was exhausted and wondering how to turn off the high-achieving nutter persona and just exist normally for a bit.

I’m giving it a fresh try today. Wish me luck in breaking out of this robot mode.
