Healthier habits

I had a rough weekend unfortunately. The sleep deprivation and stress with work and life really just caught up with me. I was exhausted coming back from Hawaii last Monday and went straight into a mountain of work. There was a lot of late nights and early mornings and I never felt good most of last week.

I did my best to try to catch-up on sleep and life over the weekend but my other full time job of being a Dad can’t really be put on pause. We didn’t do much over the weekend and it was unfortunately mostly spent just tiredly hanging out with Colin. There was a lot of low motivation and slugging around.

I’m finally feeling decent again this Monday morning, but it’s going to be a journey these next few weeks to close out and quarter and I need to make sure to take care of myself. That starts with getting back to healthier habits like reading before bed and moving my bed time earlier.

Over the last few weeks, I could tell that Sophia and I started doing more and more with life as we got more comfortable with Colin and he started getting on a good schedule. That meant more going out with friends, staying up later than the early days, watching more TV, etc.

All that stuff is fine of course, but it adds to our exhaustion levels. It’s time that we peel some of that back a bit. Like with most of things, it’s the simple things in life.
