So, You’ve Fallen off the Wagon
Now what?
Going into December, I was on a roll. I was writing a couple of hours each day, I was exercising, meditating, eating well, not drinking much. I felt awesome. Life was easy.
Then, I fell off the wagon.
Have you ever fallen off the wagon? Have you ever had a great thing going that suddenly blew up in your face, leaving you dazed and confused?
Doesn’t it suck? I mean, you put all this effort into doing something good for yourself, and then bam! it’s gone like it never even existed. What the hell are we supposed to do in times like these?
How do we get back on that wagon?
The Set-Up
This whole mess started with me getting sick. I missed three consecutive days of work, which I’ve never done. And then my illness refused to go away. I was clearing my throat at my desk every damn minute. I was that guy.
Naturally, this happened while I was trying to make decisions on a condo renovation that was (and still is) ongoing. That in-and-of-itself would have driven me nuts. Even today, I’m barely staying above water. I was out choosing faucets today. Faucets! Seriously, why are there so many kinds? And why are they so expensive?!
