I’m okay, just mentally re-hashing my behaviour during a trip with work friends this past weekend. I tend to get pretty rambunctious in some situations and then feel bad or weird about it later… but what’s done is done hopefully I didn’t annoy anyone too badly

I can really relate. It’s often awkward when I’m convinced I came off terribly and people thought I was charming or vice versa

That hits home. I, too, wonder whether I was overly rambunctious often. Good word for it.

I feel fantastic right now - in the last week, I have hyper focussed for several days to help a dear friend prepare for a court date (the kind of task that has "important/interesting to me" and "urgent" written all over it), and due to our preparation, it went really well for her. And I am happy, relieved and quite proud of us - while also feeling completely trashed from overtaxing my physical ressources in the process.

Absolutely worth it, though. I will, however, now take a break of several days.

that's awesome, I'm sure she was really grateful to have you there helping her so much!

Yes, she is! I personally am just so glad I could help at all and not have her watch go through that ordeal by herself... and to have managed to make a significant difference for her, she says. That doesn't always happen when trying to help and support, and I am so happy that this time, it did :)

That's fantastic - I hope you got that well-deserved break!

I'm late to reply, but... did it get any better?
