More hours in the day. Get to stepping!

Yesterday I worked on only 4 hours of sleep. I was planning to go to an event after work but of course that didn't happen. I came home since there was a gap of time between and to do a couple of things. It was fairly early so I "rested" just so I wouldn't be so tired. Fail. I never went of course. I was exhausted! Mind you, yesterday was MONDAY! Today, I had a meeting after work. My first board meeting. It was cool. I have a lot of work to do as an officer and I'm not really sure where the time is going to come from, but I think it is something I need in my life right now. Tomorrow night was yet another event - actually two events. I have to attend to business pertaining to the organization I am now serving, so I will try to pop into the second event for a glass of wine after. Or, depending on how tired I am I may just come home and fall into the bed. I said I needed to step up my game - well, be careful what you ask for. I definitely need to step up my game...

The Last Minute

Caught up on my sleep last night. I was exhausted. Slept for 6 hours then got up and did a little virtual job hunting. Just trying to get my feelers out there to see what else is out there. Yesterday left a really sour taste in my mouth. Slept soundly and now dragging to get out the door to finish up loose ends at work. Told the assistant to not worry about it since it was storming this morning. Whatever doesn't get done now will get done by the new assistant in August. I just like to be slightly ahead of the curve, but what can you do? I'm not thinking I need to pack all of my personal items separately just in case I do wind up getting an offer I can't refuse. One of the jobs I saw was an opportunity to merge into the area of focus I want to move in without having to go back to school. Change is scary but so necessary.

Bonk!

The term can be used both as a noun ("hitting the bonk") and a verb ("to bonk halfway through the race"). This condition is also known to long-distance ( marathon ) runners, who usually refer to it as "hitting the wall". It is also referred to as the "green grass" as pupil dilation causes vivid hues to appear. (Wiki) After only three days back from vacation and I've already hit the wall. I would have thought that I could have lasted a week...maybe two. No such luck. I am tired! The new baby (my computer) still hasn't arrived. I really want it to come...and soon! I miss having a computer at my disposal. Soon come...soon come.
