After an event… Do you crash?
March 5, 2022,
Crashing after an event. I crash after an event. Do you crash after an event?
I’m just wondering, does anyone else ‘crash’ after an event?
I mean, I just organized an event for Rare Disease Day. It wasn’t even a fancy or complicated event. It was a matter of 3 weeks’ worth of work, filling out the right paperwork, ordering signs, scheduling postings on SM, and then showing up and hoping others would show up too.
It didn’t require months of work; not tons of money; just planning…
Rare Disease Day this year was on Monday, February 28. And somehow, despite the effort I exerted, which wasn’t anything exceptional, (at least not for me…) I was exhausted. I did manage to hit the email and check up on that on Tuesday, but by 2:00? My brain was ready to check out.
I’d decided that on Wednesday, I was going to get into cleaning up the flower gardens in front of my house. I haven’t quite gotten the whole ‘spring’ schedule thing down pat here; I moved to Georgia in June of 2019… which means that in June, I’ll have been here for 3 years… it’s so hard to believe I’ve been out of New Jersey for 3 years… It’s true, you can take a girl out of New Jersey but you can’t take the ‘Jersey’ out of the girl…
Anyway, Wednesday, I did hit the front garden..it was beautiful a day… and as overly enthusiastically as I take on everything I do, I ended up tearing up my back and spent I ended up ‘checking out’ for Thursday, and Friday… binging on whatever it was that I’d not seen… while sitting on a heating pad…
As I write this, I realize that I hadn’t really hit the couch for two days because of the event; I just hit the couch because I couldn’t bend over…
But the truth be told, I do tend to have a mental crash after an event. Does that happen to anyone else?
