I called out sick two days in a row. I took time to reflect on what I want to accomplish. If Money, housing, keeping the pets safe and stable, werent an issue, etc... my dream is to travel, write and paint! Working 100-120 hours each pay period is killing me, not physically, but emotionally. I am missing so much. As a start, I altered my schedule and am now taking weekends off for October. I made a few overdue medical appointments. I am taking care of me. It's been so long. I need to find a routine that I can make time for my passion so that I adhere to it without excuses or distractions. I am working on that. It's trickier than I thought, but this group has really inspired me! Thank you.
