My boss has been on vacation for the last few days and I can say that I have recieved 5 phone calls in the last 2 days. I normally exceed 10 in one day. This is so refreshing! Unfortunately I'm just so burnt out from going non-stop for almost 1 & 3/4 years that my drive and motivation to do anything right now just isn't there. No matter what I do, every day starts the same and ends with me dreading looking at a computer screen or writing a "To Do" list. Tonight I was going to come home, go for a run and then buckle down and really work on my (impending) SERC presentation. Unfortnately my plans got changed, and I had to settle for a walk, but then laundry happened. Laundry needed to happen, but I've gotten nothing done and it is 23:42. I'm supposed to show them something different tomorrow. Ugh. I need a vacation, but I can't afford to go on the kind I want. I really cannot just take time off and stay here. That won't be relaxing, and I'm almost confident it will make things worse for me.
Once again, I know I am slacking at this...add it to the list of things I'm not doing well lately.
Three Good Things:
- 30 min walk. It was 72*F! :) How could this not be on the list. Unfortunately this is two-fold. I have really gained some weight back and lost a lot of muscle and definition since I haven't been running regularly. It was really difficult to work into my schedule when I was unhappy, but now that I'm somewhat stable I am even more busy than last year.
- Time to myself.
- My bed.
