I saw this website and thought of you… They have a lot of pink and green ideas there!

Oh, I know EXACTLY how you feel. I’m slowly crawling out of an aggravatingly persistent rut of my own. Sometimes life is just overwhelming, and entirely draining. Mostly I think it just takes time–but you’ll get there. It may take a lot of forcing yourself to go things–go to the gym, focus at work, eat dinner–but you’ll pull through.

If you’re not over it after the weekend, we’ll have to grab lunch or something and shake things up. Heck, we should do that anyway

Feel better!

It’s almost the weekend. That must excite you a wee bit. That is something to look forward to. Summer is the worst for making us all get in a rut. I hope things look up soon.

A relaxing weekend will hopefully help! Sometimes you do just have to FORCE yourself to go run or blog or whatever… and hope that the motivation eventually “clicks.”

Sometimes I feel like I’m stuck in an eternal rut. The only way to get out of it for me is to do something completely different like a major change. Hence the new job. Getting motivated or inspired to do something is a completely different story. Hence the reason I agreed to run on Friday, I’m motivated to show up because I’ll feel bad if I don’t. Doesn’t mean I’ll be motivated to go by myself next week. Sorry about the job though.

I’m in a rut too…I don’t know what it is, but it’s definitely at work. I just don’t feel like working, and I don’t feel like concentrating. I would much rather just look up things on the internet, shop, lay out at the pool, etc.

i think everyone goes through these work slumps… they’re even worse when they align with a life-slump.
i’m lucky enough to not have mouse drops on my desk, but i’ve had to jump up and stand on my chair during conference calls with clients before while waving wildly to get boys to come over and kill the cockroaches, i’m not sure which scenario i consider worse.

you’ll snap out of it. a trip to CT is bound to make everything seem better : )

You’ve had a lot going on lately and working two jobs probably would make most people feel the way you do. I know we all feel that rut creeping up on us from time to time.

When I hit that wall, I either try to take a day to myself and just do whatever mindless thing I feel like or I buy a bouquet of flowers at the store or go somewhere new (like a new store or something).

you are so not alone.

and as we all know, this too shall pass.
