Thank god it’s the weekend.
I finished conferences at 3:30pm yesterday, then assisted at the dojo, and finally graded two class’s worth of projects before I called it for the weekend.
It felt so good to shake off all the stress of conference week, and to know we had a three day weekend ahead of us.
But this morning I’ve felt very… blah. I think I have a bit of a stress hang over honestly. And there is still stress to be had. Our cat isn’t doing well. My periformas syndrome and lower back pain are returning, and I’m almost sure martial arts is the cause. My neck is a mess from looking up at my TV at school (I project my computer screen on to my TV to teach). I have a ton to do around the house, which has been neglected for weeks. There are more projects to score.
But we’re going to a free concert in the park near our house today. And I don’t have to do a ton of lice-related laundry. And I think we found a Halloween costume for my son, who has been melting down about not knowing what to be for a couple weeks. I have next week planned at work, and I got my Día de los Muertos decorations up yesterday in the 30 minutes before conferences started. I already cleaned the cat’s boxes and have loads of laundry in the washer and dryer.
And I left this post sitting for a bit while I folded laundry and talked to my sister.
Right now I gotta work out, then roll out my legs and back.
I hope everyone has a restful weekend.
From what I can see, conference included, you’ve had a heck of a lot of pistons going all at the same time, some locking up periodically and requiring extra attention (the lice that weren’t) and some just rough from the get go. It’s a lot to process.
Hope the concert in the park is fun!
PiC did the laundry so JB needs to put it away and I took my “free” time to put together some batch cooking so hopefully our next week will be a little less painful. Fingers crossed for both of us!
Add my crossed fingers for all of you! Glad for the 3 day weekend though it doesn’t impact me as much as all of you … I think you all really need the pause involved. I am still in recovery mode but will be increasing activities next week; covid is longer to get over than I expected (even knowing everyone who was symptomatic sick said 4 weeks…. ) somehow 4 weeks is longer when I am the one involved.
Am impressed by all that you have done in the past 10 days and the accomplishments just before the weekend really hit. Hurrah for park concert. Chiropractor for you? Or, do you need an Occupational Therapist consult?
BIG Congratulations and wishing everyone a good new week!
