Getting Frustrated

You guys remember that commercial, the one where the mother and the daughter are walking down the beach, the surf crashing up against their bare feet, and the daughter turns to her mom and says:

"You ever have that… not-so-fresh feeling?"

Well, all vaginas aside, I’m beginning to have that feeling.  I’ve been going out in the field constantly lately, and I think it’s wearing on me.  My energy is way down.  I’m a bit depressed because I feel like I’ve hit a plateau.  I’m thinking I may be pushing things a bit too hard and trying to force things to happen when a re-direction of my energies might be more appropriate, especially now as my personal financial situation becomes more dire.  Living in LA is expensive, but living AND sarging in LA has it’s costs.  Those cover fees, parking fees, late night meals, and the occasional drink all start to add up.  =(

If there’s one thing I’ve come to realize in my experiences, it’s that the learning curve has it’s peaks and valleys.  Both are necessary.  But I think the higher the peak, the lower the valley, and I’ve hit some pretty high peaks lately.

What do you guys do when you go through this?  Do you just take a break from sarging entirely?  I’d be hesitant to do that because sarging is very much like working out in the gym.  If you stop workinging out, your muscles deteriorate, and it’s harder to start up working out again.  I don’t want my skills to atrophy, but I can’t keep going at this pace for much longer or I’ll burn out.  I guess I can cut back a bit, but if I do, I feel like I’ll just continue to spin my wheels.

It sucks, I know.  It’ll pass, I know.  Maybe I just need to move to Bolivia for a month and spend my days with $6 whores and $0.24 beers to relieve some steam.
