Work Life Balance.
You hear about it all the time. And sometimes it can be challenging.
Like during Park Voyagers.
It's hard to have a life outside of work and life seems to want to crash around me. But I feel so tired I don't know what to do to control it.
Last night I sat on the couch reading, glanced up to see my clean, unfolded laundry looking back and me and I turned the page.
I couldn't muster the energy to put it away.
Today I woke up after some glorious sleep and I was so excited to have the day off (I'm working a 6-day week next week). I LOVE Saturdays off. I scheduled myself to volunteer in Uptown with Chicago Cares, but I had a little time before I needed to leave. Waking up energized and ready for the day, I put away my clothes, sorted my mail from a couple weeks (I know, it's sad), and I still had enough time to read a chapter of my book. I even flossed! I hopped on my bike to go volunteer and with the exception of the wind feeling extra bitey this morning volunteering was awesome!
After this morning, I still have the evil black circles under my eyes which appeared with vengeance this week, but I feel 1000 times better!
I Love Saturdays! (Yes, I said it again.) I will continue to dream of a Mon.-Fri. work schedule where I have Saturdays off every week! Oh that sounds lovely!
I have to give myself things to look forward to in order to get through this craziness at work. In the near future too because Mom, Karen, & I are headed to the Riveria Maya when there's a week break in Park Voyagers, but I need something week to week!
This week I had Saturday to look forward to. And I hope to make it to MCA tomorrow.
Next week I am planning a thrifting trip and I can't wait! My wishlist of clothing I cannot afford is getting quite long so I need to find some thrifting loves to make me forget about the mass-produced stuff & beautiful modcloth finds.
I continue to battle between work and life.
I'm going to take it one step at a time. (That's all you really can do.)
P.S. my deed a day project is going very well. I'm actually enjoying it =) I haven't quite decided how I'm going to share the deeds, but we'll see.
