Post-Holiday Life

Posted by: fracas on May 21 @ 9:20 am

I read not too long ago that the effect of a holiday only lasts 2-3 days. And I can feel it, as soon as Monday hits, the brain (albeit slowly) is getting back into a sluggish action. My long, Sleeping-beauty-like nocturnal bed rests are a mere memory. Instead I struggle to keep myself on an average 6 hours sustained with a cocktail of tranquilizers and whiskey shots. It works. It knocks me out and at midnight, although my mind is still making circles, like a rat trapped in a wheel, it’s slowly switching off. Like the few times I’ve had the luxury of going under general anesthesia. If heaven was on earth, it would be found in an operating theater with a needle in your arm. Needless to say I long for my next bout of plastic surgery!

I’m now on my way to work. Working my fake nails off (the nail varnish is beginning to chip) responding to a far too crowded inbox. I am down to 14 items and by the time I leave the office they shall be under the number of 5. I can’t stand a full inbox. It simply clutters my mind, adding chaos to a carefully built up structure with related processes which allows me to lead a somewhat normal life. I’m not sure my husband would agree as his definition for this is control freak. I on the under hand call it neurotic, having a far more sophisticated not to mention sexier ring to it. And after all the neurotic girls are the ones that always get to leave that lasting impression…
