I am just having a can't-do-it day. I'm feeling overwhelmed by my gym routine (I
walked in feeling great, walked out feeling like crap), my commute (takes way too
big a bite out of my day, and 45 minutes on the highway is downright dangerous
when I'm post-workout groggy) and most especially by work. Too much stuff to do in
general, too much conflicting stuff in particular, too many people who don't care
or don't agree on what needs to be done. Just too much stuff. I feel downtrodden
and overwhelmed.
Which is of course completely ridiculous. I have a
major accomplishment for the week. (Got that writing submission sent out! I'm a
real writer with a real submission now! And possibly a real rejection to come!
Maybe I'll frame it.) I have a supportive husband who takes my writing seriously
even though I really don't. (He cleaned the litter box, a bedtime chore, while I
was up past my bedtime getting a quick read-through and submission tips from My
Brother the Writer.) I have, as mentioned, friends nad family to give me advice
when needed. And I even have a bit of relief on the work front. I just love being
told to evaluate something and given someone's name as a starting point... and
then finding out that that person has already done the relevant evaluation and
printed it up in a neat report.
But I do still get too much
commuting, too little time to row, and too little time to sleep.
