1,000,000 to zero

i have not done very much today.

well, except cook and eat.

while that might not seem remarkable, for the past month or so, it's seemed like i've been flying around at a million miles an hour.

it's been odd not doing much. but i feel a 100% better. well, minus the cramps, but there's no way around that since i haven't worked out since the bike race. it's been 2 weeks and while the body has memory, it's not the same as hitting the treadmill.

work has been absolute hell for the past few weeks. i'm working crazy hours, even more than usual. one piece of business in particular is making me mental. it seems like everyone just spins their wheels on it, even the client. and there's nothing i hate worse than doing the same thing, over and over and not making any progress.

but i am not working anymore today. my timesheet was enough. and i'm doing nothing tomorrow. monday is another day.

no rest

i can't sleep tonight, despite having an exhausting monday.

work's been crazy for the past few months, even crazier than usual. there's no sign of change in that direction except for it to get worse before it gets better. i'm trying to just keep my head down and ride out the storm.

it's easier said than done, especially since some folks seem to think good manners are not appropriate in a business setting. maybe they're just too stressed out, but really that's no excuse. what would their mothers say? surely they were all raised much better than that.

it's not what's causing me not to be able to rest. please. that would put way too much value on other people's drama.

actually, i think i slept too well last night.

yesterday, the husband and i road 55k on our bikes on some fairly hilly terrain to raise money for the ms society. we did it last year too and i must say, both years i was very tired the night after the race. this year, we shaved about an hour off our previous time which is pretty sweet. i am not even that sore today.

i go through these periods of insominia every couple of weeks. i should probably chart them and see if there's a pattern. usually it's related to lunar mystery time, but today, that's definitely not the case. i'm not sure what's causing it, but i feel extremely motivated to get stuff done. weird.
