Like [livejournal.com profile] bethbetter, I had a crappy back-to-work-after-vacation day. Granted, it could have been worse, but two hours of meetings didn't help get me back on track in a meaningful way. Add to that the fact that I slept poorly, which seems to link the sleep issues with work stress, and I had a day full of tired.

Of the good? I left work on time. I took a lunch break. I spent time schmoozing with two women from our Florida office who I've only "met" before via phone/email. One of the meetings had bonus fruit salad and cookies. Yay!

Also of the good: I had a nap after getting home. This helped somewhat with the feeling of burnout I was experiencing and blunted the edge of exhaustion. I had my double-dip of Ramsey evening. Oh, and we're supposed to be having waves of storms the next few days, but the temps, while hot and humid, won't be like the blistering heat we had about ten days ago.

And, lest I forget, I wore purple. Which always makes me happy.

And yes, I'm trying to talk more about the good even on less-than-good days so that all my energy isn't going to a dark place.

I wish I had a purple icon to cheer you with...

Lunch break is good. I have a friend who rarely ever gets time to eat. It's crazy. :(

Anyway, I hope tomorrow will be better. *hugggs*

I keep trying to find time for naps after work but there never seems to be any...

Purple is my favorite color! Well, and blue.
