As I write this now, I am exhausted in ways I have only surpassed once to the best of my knowledge and that occasion was the time I did not get any sleep at all just prior to a full day of working cattle. Being able to push myself beyond the limits I had imagined has become routine in the months since I last wrote. I have struggled with the lack of purpose that has been touched upon in various entries and the stress of the past few months have pressed the issue to a crisis point. I need to do a lot of things.
First and foremost, I need to reconnect with the things of importance that have been left to whither and decay in both the frenzied effort to keep up with the tasks at hand and the mindless recreations I have indulged in to try and unwind. I need to return to the writing that has been so long neglected. I will attempt to recount the experiences of the past months while they're still fresh in my mind and begin trying to expand my literary catalog. I have made a goal for myself to at least attain some form of significant publication by the time I am 40.
In the meantime, I need to go to bed. Tomorrow brings no respite in my work, but I at least get sleep oh so slightly longer than I have before. I'm going to enjoy it as much as I can.
