hard days, sweaty nights
May. 22nd, 2007 04:32 pmI got a "what up?" from a friend at work today who reads my LJ.
Me, "nothin'".
I am very busy at work and it's extremely challenging. My project d'jour is utterly draining, I'm super-stressed and it's interfering with my sleep. And even if I felt comfortable talking more about it here, it's super-boring to anyone who's not into this stuff. Nuff details about that.
I'm dealing with stress by working it out when I'm not spontaneously falling asleep in my tracks. It's that or eat myself sick. Last night I tackled our front yard from 7 pm to 9pm while simultaneously refereeing kids, who insisted on participating (yay! - not plugged into TV!!). I hit gym from 10pm to midnight and did a grueling work out(1). I was so hot and sweaty and tired (translate: beyond caring what anyone else thinks), that I stripped off my tank top and worked out in sports bra and shorts. That's a personal measure of how "beyond it all" I was because I'm extremely shy in that environment.
Right now I'm feeling pretty pleased. The boss has been out of town for a few weeks and I got a "good job" on my project status. *yay* happy dance.
tonight: dance. no gym in the forecast.
