Sunday catch-up

This weekend has been a godsend to get caught up after a long week in Chicago. I feel like I’m just starting to get halfway decent at saying no to things, getting proper rest, and trying to feel good going into the week.

As hard as it is to say no to friends and social events at times, I need to remember how good it feels to wake up feeling well rested and productive. It’s not even 1pm and Sophia and I have had a nice breakfast and gotten all our errands out the way.

I’m planning on spending an hour or two getting caught up on everything personally and at work this afternoon. This used to be a Sunday ritual of mine. I would effectively start my work week off on Sundays so I could ease into my work day on Mondays.

As the years have gone on, I’ve gotten either too busy or perhaps just wanted more time to recharge. I will say it does feel damn good to be productive over the weekend again. Perhaps my ritual will start to come back as I enter this new phase of life.
