A Friday off

DAY OFF. From training anyway, I've got a long list of To Do's.

Well the day has finally come! One year ago I got the news that the lab was moving, it's been a long year but I wouldn't change it if I could. I learned a lot about myself in the last year!

I've been putting things off for the past 6 months that really need to be addressed. The first on the list is Me. Isn't that funny to say, I'm already selfish enough to sacrifice everything else for training, and I want to focus on Me? But most everything I did had a Deadline hanging over it like a cloud. I'd go somewhere and be thinking "but I should be at work", and never really threw myself into what I was doing. I'm finally going to quit being stressed everyday with today's date hanging over my head. I'm going to get back into a normal schedule and relish what I'm doing. Quit eating in such a hurry, sleep peacefully, read a book, stuff like that. It's been a long year.

Next up is DH and family. Poor DH catches the brunt of my stress every single day. He's probably glad to be in NY right now! My family just doesn't hear from me much. And I have so much to say!

Right up there with family is friends. Friends beyond training with them. Actually spending time with them. Last nights's swim and dinner was exactly what I needed. They remind me of who I am, who I want to be, and why I enjoy multisport so much.

Not to be ignored is the house. So much work there, all put off since January. The list for the house is overwhelming, but at least it doesn't have a deadline.
