Am I a Workaholic?

Anyone else feel like all you do is work? I worked from 8:30am to 8pm. I only work down the street from my house, so no problem there, but seriously… I got to read for about 15 minutes before my eyes gave up on me. Yesterday at work was a whirlwind (I think that’s how you spell it). I constantly feel in a rush, not just from work life but when it comes to enjoying myself as well. I’m always watching the clock thinking about what needs to be done. I think it’s a good thing considering that at my age I could be constantly traveling, going to clubs and parties and having nothing to show for it, right? Right.

I’m huge on relaxation, communication to alleviate stress, no drama, scents and such, I try anything that works to keep me relaxed since I’m one that really takes my work seriously. I’d like to join a book club or start a virtual book club or start crafts again (which I love love love drawing and painting and such) that just gets me out of my rut when I come home so that I can wind down. Even if I had to do something two or three times a week, that’s better than nothing.

A friend of mine I haven’t seen in a long time is coming in from TX to visit. She just moved there after her company closed and their largest client offered her a job there. So she’s living a great life now. I know I’ll see her while she’s home but I’m going to have to come home right after work, shower, get dressed, do my hair (ugh torture!), makeup, pick out a small bag to hit the city (The Greatest Bar in Boston- 25 minute drive), come back late, wake up early, work again. I’ll be exhausted at work. The question is, what’s more important? Decisions, decisions.

I don’t even have any pics to post. What did I eat again? Hmm.. oh, I had spaghetti (a few bites here and there), a couple of bites of my Maple Clif bar, and hmm, oh some peas with my ‘ghetti! It’s a must for me. I need something green to go with pasta AT ALL TIMES! Lol.

I hardly had time to take down my Green Monster yesterday and it was practically warm by the time I drank it all, just simmering on my desk. YUCK! So today I opted for M’s chocolate soy milk with a splash of almond milk. It just makes it creamier :) Mmm.

Tonight I plan on getting out of work around 7-7:30ish. The plan is:

• Take a 30 minute walk
• Do a 9-10 minute session of Polly’s yoga (it’s great since I’m a newbie)
• Tackle Mel B’s “Tums” section of the DVD- you want an ab workout, here you go!!!

So that’s the plan for tonight. M has work in Philly so he won’t be home until late, which is great… only because I can do this in my room and make as much noise as I want (he makes fun of the British accent and has the worst impressions- nooooooo! haha.)

Sorry this was such a boring post, I figured something was better than nothing and I really just needed to vent :D haha.

So… my question is: What do you do to relax after a late and crazy night at work?

I’ll be awaiting your suggestions patiently :)

Ciao- xx Q
