Working 9 to 5

What a Way to Make a Living!

I have been so flat out working full time - I have not had time to catch my breath.


I have noticed that when I work it is like when you are 16 years old and you get a new boyfriend. Everything is dropped to make sure you put 110% into the relationship...

Well that is how I work... I put in 110% and things that I love fall by the way side.

1. Writing my thoughts down so they are not stuck in my head
2. Catching up with friends and doing ladies that lunch
3. Doing exerciser - especially swimming - this clears my head and gives me time to stop thinking
4. Do weird projects around the house - learn to sew, paint, draw, meditation....etc
5. Work on my Photography

A to-do list was not sure were to start

Things that I have managed to fit into my time while not at work.

1. Have time off sick (remember I am a transplant patient - over work = getting sick)
2. Sleeping a lot at weekends 
3. Eat lots of crap food that is not good for me
4. Spent a lot of time with my psychologist - who I always seem to see more off the more I work.

As you may see there is a bit of a pattern here. I have been off for the last few days (sick of course) and had time to think about work life balance. It is a hard one for me to find. I need to not treat my job like my first boyfriend when I was 16 and let everything fall by the way side. 

I must do better.... Maybe if I write it thousand times in lines it will sink in. 

Today with my dogs thinking about work life balance

I have stopped doing things that keep me happy and sane - time to start working on me. Maybe one thing at a time.

Follow-up: It has been so long! This is were I will do better - write blog. Still loving chocolate.
