Someone Quick! Tell Me Why I'm Here!

To be woefully demoralized in the middle of the hurly-burly of the Christmas season is a shocker.
No, really. I'm serious.
If the image of over-stretched taffy is a metaphor not adequate enough to encapuslate what I'm feeling right now, then maybe no other picture will.
I feel like a poor juggler on a tightrope. Sort of a damned if you do and damned if you don't kind of thing.
I juggle, but I tread a fine line. To accomplish one task, I must compromise the other. If I drop the ball, I would have failed. If I concentrate too much, I may fall to my doom.
Blech.
Ker-splat.
My mind is a bit stretched and so is my whole self. I just realize more and more that I'm not exactly doing what I set out to do. The improbability of the tasks at hand and the uncertainty of the results are swinging above my neck.
I suppose that's what I live for, the uncertainty of living and the sweet promise of a job well-done.
However when you are in the middle of things, things just get muddled up and you drown.
