I am sitting here looking around my office with a million things I could be doing but I don’t want to do anything. No, wait that is not true I want to be doing something I just don’t want to be working. Have you ever had one of those days?

I am sure we all encounter them from time to time. A day when you fidget in your chair… look off in wonder… stare at your computer screen wishing your job was automated… wish the phone would ring… check your email twenty-thousand times… and still you are just in a “blah” mood. What causes this type of behavior? And even when I ask myself this question all I can do is sigh… SIGH.

The strangest part of the mood I am in today is that I have a ton of energy. I am not sleepy at all. I have all this energy but yet I don’t want to put any of this energy into work?!? Why? I would be so productive today if I could just force myself to do something.

Still no email… and the phone has not rang…

35 minutes left in the workday and all I want is some kind of simple little bit of busy work that does not involve thinking or effort… but yet will keep me busy for 35 minutes.

Still nothing...

Decompressing…

Have you ever had just a couple of months that flew by and you really had no idea where they went? I just realized three months have past and I have no clue where they went. Life is just that crazy busy right now. But I think I am finally starting to decompress.

Since February I had been planning, researching, and getting ready for the NAB Conference in Vegas. This is one of the largest electronic media shows in the nation and this year I was all in. I had classes to attend… problems to solve… and of course attempt to win a little money (by the way the last never happened). And now that the conference is over I have time to relax and get my priorities straight once again.

The decompression process will start with a glass of wine… more than likely a good Pinot Noir, a pair of stretchy shorts, a comfy tee, and maybe a little bit of cookies & cream ice cream. I will lay around with my favorite guy (-W) and catch up on all of my shows that I missed while I was in Vegas… watch out DH (Desperate Housewives) we have a date.

Next I will run an extremely hot relaxing bubble bath and get caught up on some reading. Currently I am reading “Man Eater”. Let’s just say it is quite an amusing read. I will also take this bath time to relax my thoughts and find my center was again. Stress is a horrible disease that eats away at your thoughts and soul causing you to say and act in strange ways that are not truly yourself. I must admit Stress has worn its toll on me over the past few months. Time to kill that horrible six letter word.

The final step of decompression is a good night’s sleep. Uninterrupted sleep. No alarm and no worries… just blissful sleep. I plan to wake tomorrow morning refreshed and ready to take on the world. Back to my old self. Back to the girl who can take on the world. Back to me.
