Maybe I should take a break from everything for a while. I spend a lot of time doing. Things for others, things for me, but I don't often just sit still with myself. So after the play closes this weekend, I'm going to quit the Kickstand, not help with another show, and just go to work every day and try to spend quality time with myself. I know this sounds like a lot of people who complain they are overextended, need their "me" time, and excuse themselves from dinner with the kids to take a bath, but it isn't that. I enjoy my life very much, and love the people in it, and the activities I involve myself in, but I use those things (my friends, my hobbies, etc.) maybe a little too much to fill every day with distraction, when maybe I need to get a little inside.
I recently applied for a part-time position as an on call victim advocate, which was filled before I applied. I'll take that as a sign it isn't time just yet for me to take on something else. Maybe if they have another opening in a few months.
In the me(an)time, I'm going to redecorate my house and make lots of delicious food.

That's good. I'm glad you are going to make time do go inside yourself. It was really easy for me to fill up all my time in Gainesville with friends and hobbies, too, but it always kept me distracted enough to not ever have to look inside myself... which resulted in a whole lot of confusion. So I think it's great you're doing this!
