I have spent 3 of the last 4 weekends out of town. It was delightful. But now, I guess it is time to settle back into the routine of things. I've got a VERY lengthy list of things to work on that I have not been getting to that await my attention.
Which unfortunately, hasn't yet returned from my travels. Possibly this is due to the constant uprooting and lack of weekends (sorry folks, but when I go away for a weekend, my attention is on the weekend. I always take a project as a backup, but we all know there's no way I'm gonna work on it. And what's the point of going away if you aren't really gone? It's just a waste). Possibly because the routine is seeming a bit, well, too routine. Or possibly because I am just sleep deprived from late nights on the weekend without getting to sleep in (too much going on) and then late nights during the week for no identifiable reason except that I'm too tired to go to bed. Which sounds ridiculous, but it is a real thing. I see it with my nieces and nephews all the time, especially the 3 and unders. They are so exhausted and they really just need to sleep but they are so exhausted they can't' stop crying and just sleep. I get the same way, only without the crying. So I sit around wasting time even though I'm ready to drop and I dawdle and start on last minute things* and get to bed late and am continually exhausted.**
Anyway, I knocked off a couple of to-do items tonight, and I guess I'll just keep plugging away. And maybe I'll give myself a couple of weekends before I start traveling again.
*like a blog post!
**we adults pretend we have outgrown our childhood habits, but I have discovered that half the time, when I'm angry or frustrated, I'm really just hungry and tired. We should all embrace our inner child, have a snack, and take a nap.
