crunched

Time keeps on ticking ticking ticking....

Lately, I’ve found it difficult to find any time to do anything that I really need to do. My to-do list grows everyday and I can’t seem to get anything checked off. 39 days until our wedding, which means 31 days until we drive back to KS, which means I need more than 24 hours in a day.

I’m trying to focus on keeping myself healthy, getting rest, not getting stressed out, but it’s getting more difficult every day. I’m not happy at my job, so I’m stressed about what to do next. I’m maxed out with planning, but I should enjoy this time since it only happens once. I found myself recently succumbing to everything and sobbing my way down the street. I hate it when I’m in a weird funk. It’s not fair to Todd and it’s not healthy for me.

I do somehow manage to keep finding time for my gym classes and my running. It’s the best stress reliever I have. I’ve built my way back up to 5 miles, though at this point, I have no goals of running any races before October. There is a 10K in nearby Woodinville wine country in 2 weeks that I would like to do, but it’s also the morning that our friends are throwing us a couples’ shower. So I pick the shower fun over the 10K run, of course!

This past weekend I wrangled Todd into going with me to watch the Blue Angels perform. We took the bus to the Mt. Baker neighborhood above the I-90 tunnel and had some great views over the performance over Lake Washington. At some points, they even flew so close to use you could see the pilots (I think one winked at me). It was awesome! We caught some of the Sunday show while we were doing some shopping in SODO, so it was neat to get a different vantage point. I want to be an acrobatic pilot now.
Can’t wait until they’re back at SeaFair next year!
