Today was a hard day. A regroup is needed for me. This past weekend and this week I am sliding off the wagon of my morning routine, feeling exhausted, stretched thin and having very little margin to my days.
Let’s unpack.
The weekend was kind of busy. On Saturday the kids had gymnastics for both, piano for L. I had yoga in the morning. I don’t even know what else we did for the rest of Saturday… looking through pictures yields this photo:
Sunday I saw my sister friends at a cafe, here is my drink- a pink chai.
This week feels packed…
Work. Pick ups from schools. Jiu jitsu. Dinner. Clean up. Washing out lunch containers. Making lunches for me and L.
In addition to the above…
Monday and Wednesday – physical therapy right after work. Wednesday- yoga. Thursday T and I are going into the city to see Redwood the musical, and will come back very late. Friday I KNOW I will be fried but, thankfully, no students at my school on Friday, just colleagues for professional development.
All this feels like a lot. Because it is a lot. I missed yoga yesterday because I just wanted to veg out and spend some time with T (we started Shōgun), but then I felt down that I didn’t go to my usual Monday class. I then read my book for a bit after the show. So bed time procrastination. This morning I was so tired so I slept in. The result- no morning routine.
But, something’s gotta give.
Tonight I am going to bed early so I can reset my system…
Tomorrow and Thursday I have three classes per day so my teaching load is lighter for the rest of the week.
How is your week going?
