This week has totally been kicking my ass. My “busy season” is in full swing and that means early mornings, late days and weekend work. I am grateful for the business – but, this time of the year is always super stressful.
I thought maybe making myself a pretty breakfast this morning would help me get through the day a bit easier.
I had planned on trying to squeeze in a lunchtime run on the treadmill – but, somehow, time snuck up on me and before I knew it, it was almost 12:30pm. Woops. I grabbed about a 10 minute lunch and took Gracie out for a short walk.
I had to bail on my lunchtime workout with Tom tomorrow, so, I was going to try and mooch off of Danny’s appointment with him tonight. Around 4pm, it became very clear that I would not be leaving work in enough time to make that training session either. In an effort to try and regain some sanity, I grabbed Gracie and set out for another walk.
My plan had been to walk her about a mile, but, that was foiled by rain that rolled in. We made it about 1/2 a mile instead. Better than nothing, but, still disappointing.
I think that Gracie can sense what a stressful time it is in the office. She is usually wound pretty tight and once the clock strikes 5pm she knows it is time to go home. But, so far this week she has been a perfect little angel. We are taking her to Dogs at Play tomorrow so that she can let loose a bit and not stuck with her lame-o mom.
On the way home, the bottom fell out and it was pouring rain.
Now I am home and pretty much dead tired. I am looking forward to watching some DVR with Danny, maybe catching the first part of the Magic/Celtics game (I do not like the NBA, but, I like watching Duke alums). No way will I be able to stay awake for the second half though.
Off to the sofa in 3, 2, 1….
