the grind

Ugh, I would love nothing more than to have more time to blog lately, but work is SUCH a grind right now! I'm in the middle of a massive project that's 2 months down and 2 months to go, and every week is the same three-step process:

1. Monday and Tuesday I go hardcore.

2. Wednesday and Thursday I've lost 50% brainpower.

3. By the time Friday rolls around, I'm basically a functioning vegetable, so I try to block work out over the weekend to recharge, only to realize that HEY-O it's Monday again and now my work is backed up so I need to play catch-up in the form of #1.

Don't get me wrong, I remember very vividly being unemployed a year ago, and this beats that ten-fold although I could really brush up on my tennis. But man...I'm just mentally destroyed when I get home. Case in point - I can only tolerate mouth-breathing TV shows because my tiny pea brain is too shriveled to comprehend anything beyond "Cabs are here!" and "Next, on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills..."

This particular weekend has been even worse because I just had to keep plowing through after a crazy exhausting week. However, I think I'm not the only one who's happy to be working from my couch...


Happy Sunday! Here's hoping that everyone has some fun Thanksgiving plans coming up this week. We are staying here and will be hosting the MCADAMS family live in Chicago!!!!!!!!! We always cook a full-blown meal and rarely have other people to help us take it down, so it'll be fun to get to share it with one of our favorite fams. Not to mention the fact that Megan's never been to Chi and they'll be here all week, so we'll get to do a little staycation sight-seeing as well - the Christmas decorations are up around town and it's beautiful - so excited!
