The vicious circle

May 31, 2023, Wednesday evening, 7:45pm, pacific standard time, resort hotel in Palm Desert, California, USA. Getting up everyday for ten hours of work is hard. I usually don’t hit my stride until 9am. After that, I am leveled up and good to go. The problem is the moment the heat subsides my guard lets down and stress sets in. Like residual vapors from an overheated engine I can’t clear the system. My diaphragm clenches up and my throat burns with acid. It takes a long time to gear down and relax. Of course that is the moment an email, phone call, text cranks it all back up and starts the vicious circle once again.
