Working things out

So, I'm happy to report that I'm feeling mildly better. While that might not sound like a lot, it is when you feel like you've got a mountain to climb and don't even feel like getting out of bed. I got through the tough week at work last week, and I'm hoping that it's the last part of the proverbial band-aid being pulled off in that department. Sure, things are going to continue being tough, but I'm hopeful that the most emotionally difficult situations are over for the foreseeable future.

I spent most of Friday doing some planning and budgeting work, and making a list of the bazillion things I'm now responsible for and need to do over the next month. While a bit overwhelming, it helps me to have the checklist of things to cross off as I complete each task. This will be especially important now that I'm the only person on my "team." How do you like them apples?

This weekend was pretty low key. I rested up due to the cold that's still making it's way out of my system. The antibiotics are helping, so I'm sure it's just a matter of time until I'm back to 100% on that front.

I spent Saturday sleeping in, and then literally laying on the couch the entire day watching TV and movies. I got hooked on an L.A. Ink moronathon, which was pretty entertaining and made me think about getting my own tattoo touched up at some point or maybe getting a new one at some point. But, I'm kind of averse to getting something like that while I'm in the middle of a personal crisis. L. and I watched the movie, Pirate Radio, which was a fun flick and had that happy ending that we all wish for. Plus the soundtrack was bitchin', even if the movie focused on the period of 1966 but the music included tunes from years later.

Sunday, L. and I slept in again and then we got to work on the yard. The weeds have really taken over some areas, so it's slow going to get them all and try to make sure they don't return. There's still plenty to do, but it will have to wait for another day. Here's hoping the coming week has some peace and that I'm able to get some good work done.
