It's almost Friday and let me just say....THANK GOODNESS. Sunday when I got back I was starting to get restless from inactivity and lack of things to do at home. I had caught up on all my TV shows, ate a ton, slept even more, and really enjoyed being home for two weeks...but I am an active person and have to have something to do at some point. So I was excited and ready to be back in Raleigh to start school, work, and hang out with my friends here.
Boy...let me stress....be careful what you wish for because I went from 0 to 60 on day one and haven't stopped until well...tomorrow when I get home. Monday I started work at Meredith Admissions which I love working there because the people are so great and I love helping promote Meredith whether it's sending out mail or data entry. I also started back up at the YMCA. I work every day this week at Meredith and I ended up working Monday-Thursday at the Y. I also wanted to get back in the gym so after work on Tuesday and Wednesday I got back in the gym. Which I have to say was awesome. There is nothing like sweating out stress, tiredness, etc...
Then we get to today and I swear I don't stop from 8 in the morning to 9:30 at night. Let me tell you...for one: the bus system sucks. No joke, summer service is awful...buses only run every 30 min and they don't overlap where I can catch one without missing the other. So I drive to Pullen Park and then catch one bus. Well today I stayed after class to work on homework...and I left at 12:24 and waited and waited and waited. I was fit to be tied by the time the number 8 got there so I finally got back to NC State main campus where I picked up my book for class and then rushed to my car where I finally got back at Meredith at 1:45....when I was supposed to be at work in Admissions. I fixed myself a quick smoothie (banana, peanut butter, and chocolate smoothie) and headed that way. Well after Wednesday of all data entry today we just ran around! No joke, I went to the mail center twice and gave a speed tour and finally finished my bad emails! It was a great workout and I felt so accomplished but as soon as I left I made my way to the YMCA. Luckily we were slow there and when I finally got home I enjoyed a home cooked meal of zucchini/squash/tomato/chicken/pepper mix. SO GOOD. So it was 9:30 when I finally stopped, had the dishes cleaned up and I was able to sit down and eat. Heck yes. Crazy thing I had to remind myself I needed to slow down. I don't need to keep going. I could sit down and relax. I had gotten on a go go go mode today and I was still in that mode when I got home. But I as I am now writing this...I have stopped. I let my body relax and my mind. And it was great. We all need breaks in life and we all need to stay active. It all comes down to balance. We don't need to break so much that restlessness happens and we don't need to be so go go go that we forget to rest.
So in the end rest but not to the point of restlessness but don't become so busy that you forget to rest.
And with that...take a deep breath....and goodnight.
