There are times I just love 43T – well, more so than usual. Right now it’s really helping me see patterns – and avoid them!

Monday night was not a good one for me. I was very tired, had a conversation that left me uptight and annoyed, and fell into bed with the beginnings of that, “What is the point?” feeling about anything and everything. And woke up feeling like I hadn’t slept at all.

Oh dear. This does not help or fit in with my new and improved, all-achieving, world dominating calypte!

Luckily, I caught it early – and on a day when I could easily do something about it. Yes, I have studying to do, and a ton of errands to run before Friday. But… what I really really need is a night off. So I had one! Still went to pilates, but then it was hot bath and sitting on the couch and early to bed.

[aside: proper relaxation time does demand the pc is off! Last night was possibly the first time I did that, and the difference in relaxed-ness after magazine flicking compared to ‘one more’ game of mahjong was immense!! Learn, woman!]

I still need to work on my stamina, but I also need to recognise the near-breaking points and just stop. For a while. And hopefully a very short while! The idea is that a day off from everything will refresh me – any longer than two days, and that’s where the problems always lay before: putting things down for so long, that picking them back up needs a dozen steps back first.

Tonight: back to achieving. Things just have deadlines right now, and that’s okay!
