One of those days

I missed this yesterday, but it looks like Karen was experiencing what we all go through from time to time:
What do we have today?
Made up stress. Adrenaline pumps through my veins giving me that wild “flight or fight” rush. Really, I’m a flight kind of girl. That seems best for all. But nooooo, I have to stay and fight, which stresses me out more…ain’t that a fun twist?
And what am I fighting? Words on a piece of paper. I am not making this up.
I’ve been a bit stressed lately, but it’s been a weird kind of stress. I just started a new job, but that has brought as much excitement as anything else. I’m getting about the same amount of sleep, but I’m definitely more tired. And I’m beginning to think I can’t keep staying up to watch The Daily Show.
I mentioned my commute earlier, but one thing I didn’t touch on was its effect on me: I get home and all I want to do is plop down on the couch.
Oh, and I have to work all day Saturday. Which, though it should be fun, will be nothing compared to this past weekend, which was simply amazing.
Then again, sitting here with my superfast WiFi, reflecting on some cool stuff I did today in what promises to be an incredible job, and eating my new favorite dessert (grapes in vanilla yogurt), I think to myself that I shouldn’t be complaining.






Yeah, a one hour commute, it takes some getting used to,eh?
Remember in New Mexico when you could drive an hour and pretty much be out in the middle of nowhere? Alone. Glorious desert before you. Here, I can be driving an hour and STILL be sitting in traffic. Feh.
Yes, I’m “on the verge” right now. It’s a tough week. End of my company’s fiscal year and all that horse hockey.
After I posted that, I went home and slept for twelve hours. Amazing what it did for my outlook on life.
Hang in there, friend.
