I had a really wonderful birthday. I can't believe that I turned 35. Joanne, Rachel, Jen and Andy, Jen and Troy, Maggie, and Amy all came to Buddha Belltown to meet me for dinner, and it was amazing and wonderful and beautiful to be surrounded by my good friends and loved ones on my special day. I really appreciate that people turned out, and even though dinner lasted two and a half hours, it still went by too quickly. I wish I had had two and a half hours to spend individually with each one of them.
I worked today, and I will be working tomorrow. I can't wait to get to Monday and get my "weekend" off. I need it. I don't know if I am coming down with something, or if working so many extra hours and days the past two weeks is overwhelming, but I feel much more tired than normal and not quite like myself. It was difficult to get through today. It's only 9:45, and I'm ready to shower and get into bed.
Yeah, I'm way more tired than usual. I hope I'm not coming down with something.
Funny thing about working so much more is that now that I have less time to waste, I'm wasting less time. Last Monday and Tuesday, the only time I had free to myself, I ended up getting so much done! I did 6 loads of laundry, worked out, saw people, did a lot of cleaning and organizing around the house, and got quite a bit accomplished. I guess that knowing I didn't have a lot of time and I had a lot to do helped motivate me to keep moving and hustling. Still, looking back on my life for the past few months, and considering the work schedule, the traveling, and spending time with friends and family, I haven't taken a good solid day to sleep in, do nothing, and refuel my reserves. I wish I wasn't one of those people who needed alone time and down time to recharge, but I'm an introvert by nature and always will be.
I still have a lot to work on, and get done, and things I want to do and people I want to see. I don't know when things'll slow down, to be honest. I guess I'll just have to wait for a quiet day to sneak up on me, and take advantage of it when it comes.
Thanks to everyone for the well-wishes and birthday greetings. I miss a lot of my livejournal friends a lot, but I just don't know when things are going to slow down.
