I’ve realized the four day work week is just perfect for me. Each snow day has left me feeling refreshed, productive, and well-rested. I’m much more efficient at writing reports when I’m home, so I’m finding that I can finish twice as much work in half the time without the distractions and un- pleasantries of sitting in an office. And when I can do work twice as fast, there’s more time in the day for the more meaningful things – time…

Another snow day tomorrow = wine and Thai food. I could really get used to these four-day weeks. Makes for a nice little break in the deep, dark winter. The snow fell fast and steady all day long as I worked inside the warm psychology office. I made it home around 4 and knocked out 3 quick slow miles before retiring to my couch. Matt and I dreamed about all the things we could do on the eve before a…
My dearest readers, Today was quite pleasant. We had a little party at work that involved cake and brownies, and I made it to spinning class after work. Honestly, I don’t have much to report this evening, except that I’ve never seen so much cheese. I attempted Kath’s recent Mac + Cheese recipe, and boy was it fun to stir. Unfortunately, Matt is not a fan of any cheese even remotely related to brie, so I went with a swiss…
Another snowy day at home… I actually spent the morning finishing a report. I don’t want to get too behind with all of these surprise vacation days. The best part of working from home is having the flexibility to work out whenever and to decide what I want to eat for lunch in the moment. I went to a noon time spinning class with an instructor I’d never had before. The class was quite interesting. We did five long hills…
Greetings, So babysitting was cancelled today (the little guy was sick). I was home by 3, and since I had already worked out this morning, I didn’t know what to do with myself. I considered walking over to the mall to use a gift card, but decided I didn’t want to go out in the snow. When I have unexpected free time these days I sometimes have a hard time relaxing because I feel like there’s always something that needs…
Good evening, I’ve responded to all of your comments! It looks like I have a bit of thinking to do. Some of that thinking has already taken place…aka, during my IEP presentation to 12 other professionals today! During the meeting, my thought of the moment on the matter was that I wanted to be on the social work side of the table because we were dealing with an emotionally heavy case:( I felt drained after work so the gym didn’t…
Thank you, thank you for all of your warm and insightful comments. I’m going to read them all a second and third time through tomorrow, but I guess the gist is that I am not alone and I feel better knowing that:) Tonight, I’ve got to prepare for an IEP meeting that was postponed last week, so I can’t chat for long. I also had class earlier, so I threw together my go-to mexican bowl for a quick dinner. Carolina…
Hi guys. Long time no talk. So I’ve been in kind of a rut this week. I’m not sure it is the post-Christmas blues, the rainy days, or the fact that I don’t really know what I want to do with my life, but my mind has been wondering this week. I’ve learned that one of the best cures for these kinds of moods is a good exercise session and a fashion magazine (because shopping can be dangerous in these times).…
Snow and rain do not mix. Today’s weather was disgusting and it put me in a foul mood. My IEP meeting got cancelled and I stepped in an ice puddle that came up to my calves. Note to self: don’t go outside until April. Needless to say, I skipped the gym because my toes were burning from the freezing cold water that got trapped in my shoe and I couldn’t bear the thought of walking home and then going back…
