This week has been long. It was one of those weeks where each day goes by quickly but each day takes a long time to complete the tasks that need to be accomplished. In other words my days started out early and ended late. It's not that any one thing was stressful but the combination of tasks created a feeling that I wanted the week to be over. There were a variety of tasks related to work, personal, and career development. There was a blend of activities that reflect the good and the better in my life.
I also, for some reason, decided I didn't want to sleep at nights. I even began setting an alarm to make sure I woke up on time. For those who know me, this would say a lot about my state of mind and where I was this past week. I have never used an alarm before in my life! I have always been a person who just wakes up on time. I sleep when my head hits my pillow. I love to sleep and I love to wake up. As the end of the week approached, I had a decision to make. I either had to give into the fatigue and come home and sleep or have my 21 month old granddaughter spend the night. I chose the best. She came and we were able to hang out and enjoy each other. Some how all the things I needed to get done, all the mundane tasks that seemed so important slipped out of my mind. There was nothing better I could have been spending my time on.
There is nothing as sweet as having a grandchild (my first one) sleeping next to me. The world some how is perfect. Even when she thrashes and keeps me awake late into the night and wakes me early the next morning. It is the best and it made a very long week worth the wait.
