...its now mid-day at work and I've officially done nothing. Well, not NOTHING. I am blogging. And I checked my email. AND I did finally send the last few pages of our HUGE hellish issue to the press this morning! So I guess I was quasi-productive. But after a 3 week period of non-stop work (my butt print is permanently indented into my work chair), I need a little mental break.
A wise friend of mine told me yesterday that I've gone into a downward spiral. For someone who made such strides and made such progress over the past year, the past couple weeks have been very destructive to me. I knew I was miserable...and I guess I still am somewhat - I can't just assume to be presto-chango perfect now - however, I made it through a rough time at work in tact. And while I can blame part of it on stress and lack of sleep (all caused by my work life), it really isn't fair to dole all that badness out on my friends and family. So...this is a public (ok, who reads this stuff?) apology to my friends and family - and primarily to my best friend and my wonderful boyfriend. Both of them have supported me and seen me through a rough time....not just the past 3 weeks, but the last year and, in Nicole's case, the past DECADE. So thank you for being there for me and thank you for understanding and still standing by me...
I'm making a resolution (a not-so-new-year's resolution) to try to go back to seeing the positive things in my life rather than dwelling on the icky stuff. And I'm going to make a resolution to try new things (which I've been pretty good at doing the past year, but have slipped lately). And in homage to that...I'm going to make an effort to try to write on here more often! So check once, check often.... Not that I have any kind of theme or general topics I like to write on, but I guess that's the beauty of a blog, right?? Just ramble on and someone is bound to be interested in what you're saying!!

First, I'm interested in what you're saying. And second, thanks for the apology. It's not necessary but I do appreciate the gesture - the very, public gesture! I, too, had to make the decision to be positive and just accept what comes, especially at work. And it has made a difference in how I work and my homelife.
You'll get there! You've already come so far!!
Nice Slady....YOU ROCK! :)
