seeing through clear colored glasses
I'm wearing glasses instead of contacts now. I have to do this for at least 2 months. I didn't realize what a luxury wearing contacts was for me. I dislike glasses. I lost my peripheral vision, which is distressing. But, I'm surviving. Because eyes are so incredibly important that I'll do ANYTHING to keep my eyes healthy. And since I've learned that I messed them up, I'm up for the challenge of fixing them. And I really like my opthamologist.
I just returned to work after vacation in Florida. It was lovely. I just relaxed and did whatever: lots of reading, swimming, TV watching (I love cable), and some possession gathering (ie. shopping). It was nice to hang out with my grandparents and sister. And it was really nice to soak up that Vitamin E. Yay sunshine!
The alternative winter break program went really well and all the participants had a good experience, and some of them were actually transformed! The urban mitzvah corps was the best program/event I've worked on--because I could actually see the difference I was making. The students were so cool!
I'm still burned out, but I'm focusing on just trudging through. But, I am instituting a "leave the office at least once during the day" policy. I think that it will increase my productivity and help me feel better about life inside the office. Maybe I'll become un-burned-out soon. Because, I'm really passionate about my work, I'm just fatigued. I wonder how you balance that?
I have a new officemate. It's weird because my other officemate and new officemate grew up together. They know all the same people, etc. But, I don't mind. It's just a corner with a desk in it.
I need a book to read. I haven't been to the library in a while (although I returned my books today).
