How the flock is it November?

This year is flying by!

What's up friends? Tell me all the things...

It's been a rough few days for me, but this too shall pass. I took an impromptu mental health day, yesterday, which has helped. I did a zen yoga class, took a nap, got a massage and took another nap. Then had a long talk with the BF and worked out some kinks there.

I cannot believe it's November....where did this year go?

I go back and forth between "WHEEEEE! FALL!" and "UGH. SUMMER IS OVER". Lol.

I'm still battling feeling run down, which isn't helped by the fact work has been stressful and annoying. I am giving myself a kick in the behind to keep working out, as I took some time off when I didn't feel great.

Couple of positive things: I demanded some 1:1 time with my sister when she comes to town tomorrow, which I'm excited about. I am seriously looking forward to having some time off before the end of the year.

I feel like I'm drowning in work. It's a bad feeling. I left DBT group early again yesterday because I couldn't deal with the anxiety of not getting work done. I'm not sleeping well, and the impostor syndrome is back in full force.

I just got back from vacation. What happened to all that serenity??

It blows my mind that it is already November. Honestly, I'm pretty frustrated that I'm dealing with yet another injury (mild concussion) on top of the not-yet-fully-healed turf toe. In terms of dating, I have some good options out there it seems.

I forget if I mentioned it on here or not, but my eHarmony account was somehow accessed by an unauthorized third-party and they shut it down. I found out first from a guy who had messaged me on eHarmony and gotten a weird randomly email back. After he was notified by eHarmony that my account has been hacked, he found my professional profile and sent me a message through that. I was initially a little weirded out, but I did discover that I am easily findable that way, so we've been talking a little bit. We'll see.

I have a couple of good things coming up later this month, including a really hot dude coming back into town who is looking forward to basically stealing me away for the weekend.

I'm sure I will be complaining about how even my nose hairs are freezing soon enough, but for now - it is peak foliage and it is delightfully comfortable.

I'm off tomorrow for the last of my far-away horse competitions until spring. I may pop in to a casual schooling show in December or January, but those will be half-day things much closer to home, not travel for the weekend kind of affairs. Tomorrow is supposed to be nearly 70* and rainy where we're headed in MD, so boo to the mud and mess. Saturday is the actual competition day, and that's supposed to be cooler and drier, at least.

I was all excited to get an hour of extra sleep on Sunday, but the damn corgi has been crying at 5am every day this week. So instead of sleeping in, I'm expecting to be woken up by the damn corgi at 4am moving forward, LOL.

Work is a stressful mess. My boss is doing her best to shield me from it, but everyone is feeling it. No matter how late I work, I am never on top of my to-do list. I actually had to delete my work email and calendar on my phone, because watching things pile up at 9 and 10pm just wasn't making me feel any less stressed.

Thanks. I'm getting better, I just wish I was all the way better already.

The concussion was so ridiculous. A football bounced out of a kid's hands onto (and then off of) the top of my head. It hit with a lot more force than you'd expect and I had a headache all Monday.

aaannnndddd I'm beginning to feel like I'm getting sick. Lovely. Headache that won't go away. Not even with excedrin. Body aches. Lack of energy. (I've drifted into naps twice today!)

This is not good timing, people. This is the worst possible timing.

Oh, I do have an lol to share. I got an evite from my parents to the rehearsal dinner for my younger brother and his fiancee. It's at a brewery.

LOL ... No.

Random funny stuff...one of the judges I work with tells me he knows who I'm dating. He works with BF's daughter's mom and they were talking about me since BF told her what I do. My judge tells her I'm a good person and am a good influence lol! That's freaking adorable!

Seriously - how is it November 1st??

I had a conversation with some friends this AM about how we are all so tired from all the dang walking last night for TOTing with all the little kids. Then people started comparing their steps and I go "I was robbed of steps because I was holding my beer and not swinging my arm". My friend thinks we need to print that statement on a Tshirt. LOL!
