It is nice to be back in a lot of ways, especially since it gets me back into a routine which is helping me w/my feelings over losing my dog.
However, this week (and next to some degree) really wear me out. I've been off for two months and it is always draining to sit in meetings and get geared up mentally for teaching again. I'm usually too tired to do anything when I get home, so my exercise routine gets thrown off quite a bit during this time of the year.
Top that off w/the fact they always feed us during this week and my diet goes to Hell and quickly. So, I'll be able to start exercising and eating correctly beginning on Monday when I'm back from my cousin's wedding in Minneapolis.
Needless to say, it is a pretty hectic week for sure.
Ok, things are looking up for the GF (just as I've told her they would be -- trying to stay positive for the both of us!). She's getting calls and has interviews set up for this week and early next, so there should be something coming for her very, very soon.
I know that will help her tremendously as that is her major hurdle right now. She's starting to turn things around for herself as well and she's made a "list" of things she's always wanted to do for herself and is now knocking them off one-by-one.
So, I think we'll be able to move forward w/us fairly soon and I'll just keep putting in good words w/the man upstairs to watch out for both of us...as well as for all of my RL and DB friends out there.
