I really struggle with travel and getting back into the swing of things. It really throws me off. I thought that having the buffer day this week would help…and now that I really think about it, it did…but it still has an effect on me.
My resolve is weakened. Or my focus. It’s more my focus.
I could have figured out a way this week to get all my writing done. Even with everything going on at work. I could have, but I didn’t. That makes me feel guilty.
Instead, I chose things other than writing…even though I’ve been in a good place when I sit down to do it.
And you know what? Maybe that is and will always be a fragile thing, the bubble that I need to sit down and write.
Maybe.
Or maybe there’s a better way to make sure that I do it every time I want to. I don’t know. I don’t have an answer for that, except that it happens whenever I travel. I stop working. And it takes me a good week or so to get back in the swing of things.
Work has been intense. Not in a bad or unhealthy way at all. Genuinely. Just…busy. A couple projects we were working on are coming to the finish line, and that finishing energy is tough, you know? It takes a lot.
Couple that with legitimately feeling exhausted from traveling and a major life event…
I’m wiped.
Eyes are drooping already.
A’s won. We could still theoretically win 100 games this year and be the wildcard. Insane. Happened to the Yanks last year.
I played some beat saber. I miss that game. Hung out with the Coops. Almost changed my website hosting, but decided not to because they agreed to offer me a discount to stay. That price hike once the intro period is over is no joke. Do not like. But they’ve otherwise been pretty stable for me. I rarely get outage notifications any more.
Coco has an eye infection, poor baby. But we got her drops and she’ll be fine. Vet says so.
Time for sleep. Night. Looking forward to a good few days of writing next week, and a restful weekend in the meantime!
