Singing the Song

I got absolutely rocked this week with work and hormones. To back-up a bit, I spent the prior week in Arizona visiting with my family which is very nice. The pace is extremely slow, although trying to figure out when to eat can be a bit difficult because of my older parents' eating schedule, but if that's all I have to concern myself with that's great. I did some work there which wasn't bad as it was quiet, but overall the day is just spent doing very little. I had a few days of the bed to myself as well as my husband goes off on a biking adventure.

The flip side of the rest, though, is that we take a red eye back east which really just messes everything up. The day we landed (Monday) was about 3-5 hours of sleep but broken up and I never felt totally fine. It isn't awful for Tuesday since I went to bed early and Wednesday was a day off. But Tuesday started the tone of the work week which was just Long. 

There were many issue to deal with as well as catch up and I left that day with the start of a migraine that continued to grow and resulted in me sleeping ten hours into Wednesday. That was actually great and, although I had the remnants of it throughout the day, I was able to run and have a late lunch with the husband so it wasn't a bad day off. Thursday and Friday continued the trend of just exhausting days at work so I didn't run. It's okay other than the frustration of the fact that work can take away my running which I hate. But I also know I could try and push through and I wasn't in a place to do so this week which is also fine.

So far the weekend is going fine and I ran five miles when I thought I was only at four so that's a nice surprise. We're in the dark time of year here which is trying but the weather is holding itself pretty nicely so I'll take that. I legit have no idea how to dress, but I figure it out.

I am also happy to have some pretty stressful things now behind me and, while I know there are more waiting for me because that is life, I'm trying to enjoy this loss of anxiety for what it is and remember to take in that break too.
