Chapter: 4/6-4/12
I am writing this the Monday after the week has concluded and there are priorities pulling left and right. My weight has been increasing consistently, I have a test this week, I have Easter this Sunday and I have been feeling exhaustion. This past week I started off strong, I wasn’t able to take as many breaks as normal at work, but I had to push through deadlines. Soon, it will be a slow time where I can get my walks in, catch up on all priorities. At the end of the work week, I had been putting together weak efforts and then the weekend I had a ten-hour day at a fundraiser, and a ten-hour day at a theme park the next day until 10:30 at night to get home and sleep at 1130 to wake up at 630. The weekend wasn’t exactly relaxing.
The final numbers weren’t anything special.
Monday: 80 minutes
Tuesday: 40 minutes
Wednesday: 58 minutes
And I am sad to say, that is it. Almost three hours in total over three days. I was just pulled in too many directions. From how I have worked today, it seems like this week, at least the start of the week will be similar if not worse. Especially with a test coming up at college.
Some positive news? I am still on track with posts ready to go for several more weeks. That is something I am very proud of. It is different than what I have been known for. The inconsistency in everything has been around all my life. Currently, in college I have been suffering with that. I have worked hard for three months straight. Done my homework, pushed and pushed but now? My grades have been falling fast. I have also had four straight days of no time put in the business. Here is something I am also proud of. 178 minutes is the least amount of weekly time I have put in since Christmas of last year. Four months! I am also hitting a year of posting on TikTok, there are now yearly memories that pop up. That has been consistent for more than two months? With 15 drafts ready to post so I should have consistency for 75 days at least. I enjoy getting into the “zone” and posting over and over again. Building up that reservoir to be ABLE to take days off. Still being able to get the job done too. That is a place I am proud to be at.
