I Need A Recharge

I just spent 4 days traveling and attending a conference in Louisiana but now I can feel myself shutting down.  I just want to hide.  I was socially overloaded but then had to dive right back into work.  I just want to crawl into bed and sleep.  I want to slither under a big rock and wait a few days for the weather to change.  I really don't want to be working or talking to anyone.

Do you think it would be rude for me to shut my door and hide all day?

Okay - how to fix this?  Focus on the positives and give myself positive self talk.  Easier said than done but I have to do this.  I am going to close my door and listen to one of my guided meditation apps for a few minutes to hopefully recharge my brain. 

What I really need is some OUTDOOR MEDITATION TIME aka a SNAKE HIKE.  I got to go on a Snake Hike while in Louisiana and it helped get me through the weekend.  Here is the snake I found while hiking:

First Snake of 2015 - Speckled Kingsnake

Since I can't go on a Snake Hike (the weather outside is frightful!), I am going to think about snakes after I meditate.  I am going to think about how I can move forward with making snakes my only job.  I learned this past weekend that the Center for Snake Conservation brand is really positive in the herp world.  Lots of people told me they loved what I am doing.  The brand is a good one - time to GROW beyond being an amateur and become the professional I know that I am.
