Juggling is Hard

I’m going to Ashville this weekend which I’m looking forward to. I think I need a break from home. Well, some time separate apart from my family would do me some good. I say that, but I’ve barely seen them this week. With the adventures, I’ve been having, things like checking in on Cara’s Cat, book club, the gym, my checkup with the nurse practitioner on my fitness journey, and getting ready for this upcoming trip, I feel like I’ve been gone. I didn’t go to the gym a few days when I would normally go which meant I didn’t see my dad as much either because the time I spend with him to and from the gym in the car is often the most I see of him in the day. He’s been in bed by the time I’ve gotten home several nights this week and since I’m leaving straight from work to go to Ashville, I won’t see them tonight either. I’ve been feeling pretty exhausted this week. I know I’ve been burning the candle at both ends, as they say, for several weeks, maybe months and being on my period which I started a couple of days ago, isn’t helping either, that’s always a drain.

 

We’ve been crazy busy at work, even if I’m not on the desk, it’s been madness. Just madness. I’ve been trying to write this between everything else and it’s a disaster. Just train-wrecked thought after train-wrecked thought and I go home exhausted. I am loving my job. Doing programs with the teens has just been so great this summer and while I’m nervous about everything that we have coming up, I’m really excited about it too. The only problem is that I think it’s leaving me a little drained creatively.

 

Jeez, I haven’t able to write more than two sentences at a time and it’s nearly time to close! Ugh.

On the plus side, our teen volunteers are pretty darned awesome.
