As my spring break winds down for good, I find myself contemplating a few contradictions. How should I spend this last day? How do I feel, now that I’m about to go back?
I want to bake something healthy, and eat junk food.
I want to take a long walk, and take a long nap.
I want to plant pansies, and I want to watch junk TV.
I want to clean my house, and I want to lie on the couch.
I feel overwhelmingly tired but also more rested than I have in weeks.
I wish I had gotten more done, and I’m glad about everything I did get done.
I am overwhelmed with clutter, and I have a few things I really must buy.
I want to go shopping, and I want to stay home.
I’m glad to be going back to a job I love, and I so wish I had a few more weeks (months?) at home.
Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)

Love this. As you know I feel the same way and it’s nice to know someone is in my boat!
