State of the 'Sprite
Jun. 11th, 2006 06:23 pmI realize that I haven't been as communicative here lately as I usually am, and for that I apologize. I like having a journal to write in, but recently I've needed every ounce of energy just to make it through the day, and luxuries like talking to people outside of work have had to fall by the wayside.
I missed a lot of work in April, due to cancellations, uncertainty about surgery scheduling, and the surgery itself, and I'm going to miss more work in July because of the Hawaii trip, so I scheduled myself pretty heavily for June. Honestly, I scheduled myself too heavily. Add in commute, physical therapy, and the previously unknown hecticness of a few clinics that have been keeping me an hour late on a regular basis, and for most of this month I have been (and will be) leaving the house by 7am and getting home between 8 and 10pm four or five days out of the week. And by that time, I'm lucky if I have the energy to eat dinner, let alone answer email and write witty essays.
It's a learning experience, I suppose. I'm learning that, no matter how much I need the funds, I will never, ever do this to myself again.
In the meantime, I just have a few more weeks of this to survive, and then I'll be on my way to Honolulu. Life is hectic, stressful, and exhausting, and I feel like I've fallen off the local social scene completely, but at least there's an end in site.....
