Hi all,
This week I started a conversation with my supervisor about getting more support/help for the amounts of field work I do. I thought she listened, then she scheduled me for many more things in the next month. As you guys have probably figured out I'm frustrated with the unrealistic amounts of work heaped onto me... so I'm trying to keep this conversation going and will bring it up again. I'm not sure if I posted since I didn't post a lot over the summer, but I actually made myself sick trying to do too much over the summer. This can't continue.
In that light I'm excited that it's Friday! I've got a scalloping trip planned tomorrow with friends that will be lots of fun. The rest of the time, the usual exercise/walk the dog/hang with BF/house chores/get organizing for upcoming rehearsals applies. What are everyone's weekend plans?
Becky, enjoy your shmoozing. I can only imagine how lovely Michigan is this time of year. Anyplace cooler than FL sounds divine. My mom has gotten a promotion this year and gets to travel more for her job. I'm meeting her in Bermuda next month! She's going to China too, but I'm not invited on that trip.
Michele, sorry about all of your woes. Since you can't work out today, how about spending that time you would normally workout doing something nice for yourself to help your body rest and recover. An extra hour of sleep? Some meditation or listening to music you love? A bubble bath with a good book? Maybe some extra healthy fats to satiate you when you're munchy and cranky, and also to help your body heal itself? (I almost always skimp on fat when I cut calories, so I try extra hard to build it into my diet/when I'm cranky that's the first food group I consider needing.) Glad DS's new school year is looking so good.
(Note to self: Take own advice here re: treating oneself nicely when cranky/overstressed.)
Hey Chris, this radio gig sounds like it has great possibilities! Keep us posted! Sometimes maintaining our weight is the best we can do when there's a lot going on, and there's nothing wrong with that. Maintenance is a victory. I'm so glad the floods have missed you. It sounds like a terrible situation.
Shannon, I love Leigh Peele. She is very inspiring and a bad-a$$.
Have a great weekend all.
I pretty much started crying on the way to work but stopped myself because it would mess up my makeup!
Hope your day goes as quietly as possible, and the foot quits playing games with you!
