I don't know if I have ever been this happy for a Friday. This was a week from HELL! Work is absolutely insane, my department is falling apart and I hit my limit. I worked over 10 hours just yesterday! I'm fried and I'm spent. I have nothing left. I got home from work just under 3 hours ago. I have been on the sofa for most of that time and I can barely function at this point.
I know I am completely overloaded at work. I know I need help. I know the expectations they have for my department are not realistic. I'm doing my best to deal with it all. One more week. Five more days, then I have five whole days off! WOW! I can't wait!! :)
What are the good things that happened this week?
Sunday was a great day with my friend D. She saw my apartment for the first time. We had fun shopping, a great lunch (the best salad EVER!), and went for a 3 1/2 mile walk.
Monday and Wednesday I did my 5K training. I did have to add in a little extra walking time, but I did everything that I was supposed to do for running. I'm proud of that!
I walked at lunch for a half hour on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday with Tammie. It was nice to get out of the building each day for 30 minutes. And I am getting to know and like Tammie even more.
I love half a pound at my weigh-in on Thursday. I'm still heading in the right direction.
The weather got better and is still getting better. Next week could hit 85!
I have cleaned my house and started a new donate pile of clothes that I can downsize even more.
I haven't logged on to my work email ONCE from home in over a week!
I haven't gotten one email from the person who sends me millions, and I haven't seen her all week either!
I have my boss on my side with the work we are doing and with the one account that is up my butt. He understands the problems and continues to be extremely supportive.
I did at least 30 minutes of exercise every day this week except for Tuesday. I don't know the last time I did that well! And tomorrow I'm going to the track to do my 5K training.
I get to do NOTHING all day tomorrow if I don't want to! :)
So... I did find many good things this week. That's great! I need to keep focusing on all the positives in my life and keep managing the stress!
