Week Almost Over

I realize that I have no right to complain about my week (since I just came off a 4-day weekend and I’m about to wrap up a 3-day work week and I have a 3-day weekend ahead of me)…but I’m going to complain anyway.

This week has been short, but brutal. I totally feel like I got my butt chewed on this week. Things have been so crazy busy at work that I haven’t had time to really stop and think. I’ve been on the go nonstop and I would love some time to just…breathe. With most of my projects on deadline, and more work coming down the pipeline, I’ve been working like mad to keep up without completely losing my mind. On top of that, I’ve been dreaming about work. Yeah, I know, don’t you just hate that? So I haven’t really been sleeping all that well. But shesh…it’s been out of control this week. I would like to think that everything will reset next week and return to normal but…I somehow doubt it. Ugh.

With that said, I was able to find some time yesterday to hit the gym during lunch, which definitely worked to cut my day in half and revitalize my system. And after work, I had to take a jog around the neighborhood to clear my head and relax my system (yeah, I’m turning into your typical gym rat). I was running through the neighborhood, not really paying attention to where I was going and just making random twists and turns through the streets when I came across a park overlooking the Marina side of the City. I decided to take a break…and ended up sitting on the ledge, listening to my music, and just…thinking…for a good half an hour. I enjoyed the view, calmed myself with my music and...just lost myself in the thoughts running through my head and used the time to try to make sense of all the things around me. Personal reflection time is definitely something I don’t make enough time for.
