As I mentioned yesterday, this has been a crazy week. I had appointments this morning and then the weird 11:30-3:30 scoring shift that isn't my favorite. I'm happy to report that my son is feeling much better, and the dryer has been running (most of the day) with no problems. What a convenience to be able to toss the clothes in and have them take care of themselves! Now if I could only I could get them to fold themselves . . .
In twelve minutes I am supposed to be attending a function at my college. I decided instead to give myself the evening off. In general, I like to make myself a part of the college community by going to such events, but I'm tired! When I first decided not to go, I thought I might "relax" by doing yard work and/or power-washing my back porch. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous this week and I've been too busy to enjoy it much. But ultimately I thought those activities wouldn't be relaxing enough, and I can get them done later. Instead, I'm going to take a long bath with lavender salts and grill a piece of chicken. (I had another disappointing weigh-in this morning. I'm still losing, but this week it was just under a pound. Despite my frustration, I'm doing my best to stick with it.)
My guess is that, no matter what kind of work you do, everyone has weeks like this one has been for me. I have two choices: keep pushing to the point of complete exhaustion, or take a step back. I suppose the third option would be to decide it's all too much trouble and give up entirely, curling up on the sofa and hiding from the world. Option three actually sounds kind of good right now, but I'm going for the second instead. It's a nice compromise.
