Questions, questions...

I've been a bit "down in the dumps" lately. Feeling tired, irritable, and "meh" about everything.

We just came back from a spring break trip to Virginia. But it was like I was too tired and out of it to truly enjoy the time there...

My parents think we need to do "all inclusive" type vacation - where food is provided and no cleanup is required. I don't know... that sounds more stressful, in some ways.

Maybe that's it - maybe I'm just stressed out.

I am not sure how to get out of it. More solo hikes? More exercise? Get into more activities (volunteer? dance?) and go to art museums?

Or am I mirroring people around me (some of them are going through some very difficult times) and absorbing their emotions?

It's not like I can afford to do what I did when I was young (and relatively care-free): feel it,  wallow in sad emotions, read depressing books, and wait until it passes... Because, you know: 3 kids, a job, responsibilities, and about 1001 things that need to get done.
