Dear LJ - I definitely need hobbies
Risa has been lovely. I had a couple of drinks with Mr. Scott the other day, and went swimming with the alternate universe Jim Kirk, and I've had more sleep than I can even keep track of. It's all been very calming and pleasant, but I have a hard time fully relaxing.
Part of that is that I'm concerned about a patient, and trying to find some solutions for her even though I shouldn't be worrying about work right now. I could pass it all off onto someone else to do, but I want to help her myself. And if I'm completely honest, it's been kind of exciting to really flex my research muscles again.
I thought I wanted a break from work more than anything, and then when I have the break, a big part of me is itching to get right back to work. Even though I'm still recovering from some pretty serious exhaustion. I think I need to find a better balance of work and relaxation for myself. Maybe I can get involved in some kind of recreational activity, make myself really leave the lab behind on a more regular basis.
I'll have to ask around and see what other people on board are doing to relax. If any of you are reading this and want to give me some suggestions, the comments are open.
