Why I haven't posted lately.
Why haven't I posted lately?
Work.
Lots and lots and lots and lots of work.
Working from before my kids wake up, and sometimes until after they go to bed at night. Working weekends. Working through meal times. Finding myself obsessively thinking about work even when I do take a break. Dreaming about work.
Blech.
It's so draining that I often find myself unable to put together two coherent thoughts when not working.
I took this weekend off so I could spend time with VL, visiting from out of town with her kids. Her kids played with mine and had a great time. Without the inertia that gets me through the work week, my body took the lack of activity to mean that it was time to collapse upon itself and I found myself without any energy at all. VL seemed to be in pretty much the same boat. We had some nice time together, but I think neither of us got quite as much out of the weekend as hoped. Here's hoping for another get-together when we're not so drained.
Next up, officially entering middle-age in two days. How am I celebrating? Going to the office the day before for another marathon work session. And a pizza party. Which of course is not on my diet. But hey, when you're on your last day of being in your 30's you should be allowed some latitude, eh?
