human.

today, i officially feel like a human again.

follow me. 

i have a job, which i may have mentioned a time (or 17) that seems to consume my life during roughly 8 out of 12 months of the year.  the other 4 months are just a bit more sustainable/normal but it's still stressful and busy during those months, too. 

so, i met a TON of deadlines - finally - but not all of them.  and i worked all weekend at my school so i decided to have Work Lite today.  i emailed minimally though i didn't put the out of office assistant on. but i also ran some errands....

and grocery shopped....

and got dog food...

and ate lunch with a friend without feeling like a rushed maniac. 

i got to see another friend and the cute boy she is a nanny for.  and i made food in my crockpot for this week and walked my dog at a leisurely pace and saw a movie (Silver Linings Playbook) without feeling guilty about NOT working all night. 

and, i felt normal.  and lucky.  and thankful that i was able to do what i wanted when i wanted, without any MAJOR interruption.  which is a miracle in my mind.
