Life
Spending a lot of time in the gym. I’m trying this thing where I break up my workouts into a shorter morning workout and an evening workout. It definitely ate into my work days a bit but I’m feeling much more even-keeled after being a bit despondent for the last couple of weeks. I’m noticing that it’s easier to be OK with other people demanding things when I feel like my own needs are being met.
Work
Pretty busy. Still working on being better at carving out time for my own projects, but I did manage to make some progress over the weekend so that’s good!
Media
Finished The West Wing, watching Hart of Dixie Season 3 and Modern Family Season 6. Finished Just Fucking Ship, reading The Way Back Home and Mental Traps.
