It’s hard to believe that it’s been just shy of 4 months since my last post. Part of me is disappointed in myself for letting it go, but part of me is ok with it; it was a much needed break.
It’s also hard to believe that I’ve been back at work full time for almost 4 months. Shocking, actually. It has gone so fast. It’s a struggle though. I struggle with settling into a routine and getting back in the swing of things. Right now I’m on auto-pilot. I get up, go for a run, go to work, go to the PT job, get home, make dinner, go to bed. You’d think that after 4 months I’d have this down pat, but it’s kicking my ass.
This job is different. I deal with certifiably BSC people day in and day out. I’m running around for 8 hours of the day, crossing things off my to-do list. It’s not the sit-in-a-chair-stare-at-the-computer job. While I do enjoy it about 98% percent of the time, it’s kicking my ass to not have a routine.
I’m not menu planning. Problem one. I’m not setting priorities for my home life. Problem two. I’m not caring about much. Problem three. So, if I know what the problems are, why is it so hard to fix?
I have never been one to care about how many people read my blog or what they think about me and my writing/what I write about. I’m not one to whore myself out to every vendor under the sun to make some cash. I’m just here to write about what’s going on in my life, more as a place to vent, celebrate, or simply gather my thoughts. So, following this thought process, I’ve decided I need to get back into blogging. I need something to keep me accountable. So, here it is. I’m trying to make myself take the time to write something twice a week. I’m trying to make myself get back into the groove of balancing work and home life instead of just going through the motions because I have to. I’m trying to make myself become more efficient at what I do, no matter where it is, so I can find that down time again.
We have a lot going on right now. Big life changes are on the horizon. Hopefully I’ll be able to just stop for a second and write. Twice a week.
