Movement

Moving around is not feeling as fluid today as I'd like. I'm hurting. I want to be back at Crossfit already because I've been missing so much, but how can I do that when all the pain and other pressures are weighing me down right now? Goodness gracious I cannot wait until May. 

Wedding this weekend of a dear friend. I'm not only one of the Maids of Honor, but I'm also the wedding officiant. I've got some tweaking left on my dress and don't know how I'll be doing my hair yet. Haven't picked out my jewelry, haven't packed my bag for the weekend away.

I've got two papers in their final revision stages over the next few weeks as well, and I'm thoughtfully and critically peer-reviewing the work of some of my cohort. This is time intensive, stressful, and and very mentally demanding. 

I have yet to finish 'moving' into the new place that I moved into two months ago. I still feel like I'm living out of a suitcase. I spent 2 nights in my own bed during the past week. Other nights being spent late at the lab or attending to the aforementioned bride. 

My body is sluggish and grotesque and I average 5-6 hours of sleep each night. I have been too scattered to get groceries or cook good food and have been resorting to mismatched meals from whatever leftovers are in the fridge. 


This is not conducive to a happy or healthy life. That's why the past few days I've been devoting more time than usual to organizing my personal life. I think things will be easier once I have a better handle on what exactly I'm doing.

As such, I've started laying out my 5-10 year plan. I do better with a plan. Added bonus: it makes me excited about tomorrow, a feeling that I desperately need when so few things are going my way.
