February - a month of rest
I spent the last 36 hours or so recovering from my trip from New York. The first two days of the trip and nights were hyper focused on rest and work. I wanted to be sure to get the rest I needed so I could maximize my time with the team in the 2 short days I had with them.
After a good couple of days with the team, I decided to reward myself and meet an old friend on Thursday before my flight out on Friday. Of course, we did what old friends do in New York and caught up for a bit too long and over too many drinks. I had a blast but my Friday trip home was that much harder.
The recovery lasted well into last night. Unfortunately nowadays in my mid-30s with a kid, you either get to choose rest or social life.
My January was about social life as Sophia and I explored traveling with Colin. We wanted to make up for a stressful December so we took trips to Monterey and Lake Tahoe. And I took a work trip to New York for the first time. It was a lot of fun but I’m feeling the exhaustion now.
February will be the month of chilling and rest. I’m looking forward to being home and focusing in on spending time with Colin and getting work to get a spot.
