It is a holiday. Family Day to be specific and I am off work.

And this has to be the BEST day I’ve had since sometime around Christmas! I have accomplished a list of stuff that had to be done. My writing is sitting open on the couch because it’s the only thing I can’t focus on right now but I did manage to:

Get my income tax stuff all together in a very large pile
Throw out a pile of paper
Apply for at least three jobs
Edit my writing workshop material so I can have it added to the schedule to teach it at Lake Huron Resort this summer
Find a number of old articles I started to write and want to either edit or finish

I think that’s it, at least for now but I’m not done though I am wearing out!

What I’m trying to say is this has been an amazing and energetic day. My hands have been less sore because I’m not hauling items around or searching through sheaves of paper looking for a needle in a haystack… the one report that nobody else can find in a chart.

THIS is what I want. THIS is how I want to feel… every day.

I know I’m facing some challenges… there’s a LOT on my mind and even more on my mind. Between a job I’m not loving, health challenges–new and old, and just the unknown in the future, I feel totally mixed up!

I know that I need more time off work and I think that in two weeks I’m going to take full advantage of the neediest doc’s absence to do so. It will give me a break (although a decreased paycheque) and it will be a good test for my partner in crime there to work for the other two docs. I’ve only had her work for one so far so it will do her good to work for the two of them because when I take vacation she might have all three (IF I’m still there by vacation season) by herself.

At this point, I’ve accomplished a lot and I’m proud of that. I feel great about that and I’m relaxed. I think I know what I need to do… but I have to figure out how to do it.
