I know this sounds a little self-indulgent, but I haven't been myself lately. I think I've been struggling with finding that happy balance between work and home life. I mentioned to Spencer recently that I think I give my best efforts when I'm at work. After I'm walking out of the building, my first thought is what's for dinner and then what will I be watching tonight on TV? A Netflix movie or watching Rescue Me .
A typical day is as follows: The ride into work can sometimes take up to 45 minutes and during that time I map out my day in my head while listening to thumping rap music. I get pumped. I feel like I can do anything. I can get on that elliptical at the end of the day and do something good for myself. But what actually happens is the caffeine buzz dimishes, I become focused on what needs to get done at work that day and by the time 5 o'clock rolls around, I just feel exhausted. I gave work the best part of me and there's nothing left for me. Things need to change...
I realized that I'm not blogging anymore which is something I enjoy doing. So my first baby step to regain some of that work vs. life balance. In the time since my last post I've come across several interesting things that I wanted to write about. For instance, the other day I was stopped at a red light and the man in the car next to me was trimming his ear hair. Ewwwww. I couldn't grab my phone fast enough to snap a photo, but moments like these are what I live to write about.
I figure I have a fighting chance to take back what's mine now that Lost, Fringe, Prison Break, House and American Idol are nearly done until the Fall season.
