breathing/balancing
feeling much better today -- finally. went for a good run, the first good long run in a couple of weeks. thanks to advil cold and sinus i could breathe pretty well during it. and after 50 minutes, i was seriously bodybuilder sweaty. hopefully i grossed out the gym bunnies.
the cold (running nose, stuffiness, plenty of snot) is still lingering. i am amazed at the amount of snot that my nose can produce. i know why i'm still sick: it has been very stressful at work and i haven't been sleeping as well as i would like. some (like the husband) would say that i care way too much. maybe so, but i really want to do a good job.
these days, i'm able to concentrate more on my new job and i'm learning lots of new skills as a result. some of them are kind of unpleasant because they are personnel related. i'm grateful to learn, however, it would be a lot better to learn these skills a little bit later in the year, at a time when things aren't so crazy.
oh well, it's not like i have a choice. and unfortunately, i have had very little time for writing as much as i'd like.
but today i got my writing wish. i'm working on work (which i have to get done because i've put it off for too long), my personal writing and some semi-fun pro-bono stuff which i can get to later if i need to. plus, i'm part of a pitch that's happening very early on wednesday am. in the meantime, i'm waiting on other people to be able to do my part which is fine, except that i'm not in the office tomorrow. they'd better get on it before 5...
believe it or not, i feel like i am doing a better job with staying more balanced between work and everything else. i'm trying to not let work invade my brain 24-7. it's hard, but i'm trying. it feels like such a big part of my life sometimes that it just seems to take over.
so today while i ran, i just enjoyed the music and the feeling of running rather than stressing about work and all the stuff that's really beyond my control. it's probably why i had such a good run.
