Stress, ugh.

This week has just been one of those weeks, where one thing after another has gone wrong or been stressful. I'm so glad it's Friday and we have a weekend full of happy things planned. Work was stressful this week with some rather expensive screw-ups on my part and then some minor things not working (which we did get figured out, today). The house hunt was stressful (thought we found one, put in an offer, then withdrew it after we found out more about the lot). I didn't get to ride this week because the road in front of the barn was closed (strange!). Home was okay, but just busy. Making whole food takes a lot of time, and even though we're getting better about it, it's still taking awhile in the evenings. This makes me feel like we don't have a lot of time in the evening and bums me out that I don't have time to read, or hang out with Jared, or catch up on work that didn't get done that day. And I haven't run in almost three weeks. eek! Working out has just NOT worked into my schedule these last few weeks because of weather, etc.

Okay, that whining is out the way now. What I wanted to say was that even in the face of all of that stress, even though I had a few afternoons where I wanted to snack on something, I made good choices. Healthy choices. I didn't turn to ice cream, or cookies, or chocolate, or alcohol, the way I would have a few weeks ago.

But, I'm also feeling a little more spacey this week. I've been frustrated by myself - I misread things, I can't focus, I forget easily, I don't think of simple answers to things. I'm not sure if this is just stress this week, or something else. My focus has not been good either, and I seriously feel like this:

 

So I'm taking it one day at a time, trying to slow down and focus on today. And I'm going for a run this weekend. One way or another!
