"Close to burnout? Honey, you were burned out. I was worried about you. You really needed the time off. Probably need more."

That's what one girlfriend of mine came back with the other day when I mentioned that I was nearing burnout before vacation. She was absolutely right; I did lose myself from exhaustion and stress. Not as badly as the last time (was working for another large not-for-profit that went through a merger and series of reorganizations - just like here), but not good, either.

I'm feeling a little bit better, but not wonderfully refreshed or anything. I need to regain my balance somehow, and am not sure quite how to do so.
