hiatus over

to say that the past few months have challenged my time management skills is a major understatement.

just when i thought i was getting pretty good at my new job, my client decided to spend all the money they should have spent during the course of a year. i have had challenges ranging from people disappearing (seriously), suits questioning my committment when i was working 60+ hrs/week, not to mention 2 of the biggest projects of the year happening at the same time.

even now, on some days, i am not so sure that i am really cut out for my job. maybe that's defeatist, but sometimes i wonder if going back to just writing would make me happier. right now i feel like i don't have the time to do the level of work i'd like to do, much less coach other people to do quality work.

part of my problem is that i haven't been working out much. i haven't been taking particularly good care of myself. i haven't been spending enough time with the husband or the bulldog. or my friends.

so that's all about to change. i've been trying to do it bit by bit this week and last. i feel like i'm gaining back my freedom.

in the meantime, it's time to get back to writing for myself.
