Day#28: Work Stresses and Late Workouts

Confession, I forgot to set my alarm this morning, and it a hot mess of a day.

28 Days Down, 31 Till Disney World.

Not having time to wash my hair this morning made me a frazzled, no doubt smelly grouch. I made it to work and got to it. I'm happily reminded today of the fact that I work with some pretty awesome peeps... and some lesser than awesome peeps. Good thing the good usually outweighs the not so good. I wonder how much drama at work could simply dissolve if people were open and honest. I find that getting clear communication is the hardest thing about my job.

Design can be stressful, but at the end of the day it's rewarding. bending fingers and babysitting to get the information I need from grown adults to get the work done in the first place is less than rewarding. It's painful. I don't want to be a nag, I want to be everyone's friend. Sigh! I'm quickly learning that being "everyone's" friend is basically impossible. But I can be me and do my best, so that's what I try and do.

Working out today was tough but good. It was strange not having training today with Kendra. It's also an odd experience working out in the hour leading up to closing time. Nobody is there, and you basically have run of the place. I like this aspect because I'm less self conscious, but I've mostly gotten past that... really, it's true. (shifty eyes) really. ;)

But the side effect of being up that late and telling your body to work out and get active right before bed is that it's now awake... What's a gal to do? I can't sleep in, so I guess I'll just have to suck it up in the future and go in earlier than the hour before close. (shrug)

Made some cookies with my brother and his wife; then forced them to take the entire cookieness away with them. MUAHAHAHAHAHA~~ I'm so evil. Michael and Jenifer are adorable and so sweet. They didn't mention the pile of dirty dishes that I have yet to clean up, or the pile of laundry crowding my hallway. Such awesomeness! I'm loving this whole, living close to family thing.

Well, I'm off to try and sleep following that late night work out.



I can do hard things. :) That month countdown begins tomorrow. That's right I'm half way through my countdown to Disney World. Ahhhhh! (excited yet panicked squeal)
