Do you ever reach a point where you’re stressed out, stretched too thin over too many projects, and you just feel like you need to take a step back from everything and try and get your focus back?

I don’t know why, but lately I’ve felt like the whole world is resting on my shoulders, and that nothing will get done if I’m not paying close attention to it. Even though I know it’s not true, it’s hard not to let it get to you over time. When you add an extra class to the normal stress of every day life and a full time job, even the best of us can get overwhelmed very quickly by it all.

I guess over the past few weeks, that’s what’s happened to me. I finally got to the point of no return and just had to step back from some of my commitments for a while and catch my breath. I haven’t had time for much of anything, and I think that disappoints me more than anyone. I had so many great plans for this summer, and it seems like none of them are going to be accomplished.

Not only did I want to get on a more regular (possibly daily) blogging schedule, but I also had several coding-related projects I wanted to at least get 75% finished with before Fall. Unfortunately, things show no sign of letting up, and I don’t know whether I’ll be able to keep up even this pace, much less add more on.

Fear not. Even though stress isn’t the best creativity-inducer, I shall return in all my blogging glory… Stand strong, my faithful readers, for your Meller shall not disappoint thee!
