ARG!!!

I finally blogged for the first time in days and I was in the middle of a really long post when AOL shut down. I have to remember not to connect via AOL when I want to get anything done. It is so frustrating. So we'll try again. I think that attempt may have to be made tomorrow as now I am exhuasted. Despite a 5 hour nap today but it is 3 in the morning and I did wake up early every morning this week (other than today) and it is past 3 am so I suppose I am entitled. I had a really busy productive week and I think it is great but I am just a bit tired from it. I have to remember that I dont' have to be out every night or busy all the time. I can just have downtime. Taking some downtime doesn't mean I am depressed or unproductive or anything else. Gotta remember that. It is nice to be busy and productive and to do fun stuff and hang out with people I like but I dont' need to do everything in the same week. I don't have to have 4 meetings, and 3 appointments, and see 2 shows and go on 3 dates and see a movie and hang out with friends and shop and cook for 12 people and go to the lab and actually get stuff done there. The truth is maybe i'm not that busy, maybe it's just poor time management. I want to see my friends and do fun stuff and get the movie going before the fall semester starts. I have a bunch of phone calls to make and meetings to schedule for the film and have some other stuff to do for event that Stella is chairing in September. I also have a full day in the lab Monday and Tuesday and have a meeting at Sinai on Tuesday for which I have to prepare. I am not superwoman, i dont' have to do it all and relinquishing the superwoman crown does not make me depressed, unproductive woman. Maybe the new diet (3 days down) is making me tired as I haven't yet adjusted. I will see what I do tomorrow- beach or work or whatever- now it's time to go to sleep- i'll try to make blogging part of my schedule tomorrow.

i'm a big proponent of some down time. it's definitely not unproductive! it allows you to stop and think and reflect and restore. you never have to make excuses for just making time for yourself that does not amount to a major fundraiser, event, party, or social occasion. the only person tracking your every minute is you, so you have to start looking at time differently. hey, i've just taken a whole month off for myself and i have no regrets :-)
can't wait to spend some down time together when i gt back.
