Tales of the Absentminded Me

First off, I apologize. Over the last month or so, I have lost my damn mind. I'm not particularly sure where it is, but I probably lost it sometime in early December, so it may be in D.C.

Since Thanksgiving, I've taken two work trips, a fun trip, and was home for about two weeks total. I co-chaired a big project for the Jaycees that ended up being more than I had counted on. Household chores went by the wayside, Dakota spent a lot of time on vacation (which equals lots of biscuits), my brain and ody were not sure where I was and lots of money was spent. Just before the new year, after returning from Boston, I crashed.

And I haven't quite adjusted since then. And that's turned into things just looking like a huge mess in my calendar, email, on paper, and at home. I know I just have to look at it one small thing at a time to get the ball rolling, but with the weather and classes starting, it feels a bit overwhelming.

So I ask for your patience as I dig out of the hole I find myself in. There are things I've been neglecting (running) and things I've been doing too much of (sleeping). It's time to find the balance again and tips the scales in the right direction (literally, I have gained a good bit of weight since the half marathon). This may include scheduling my time more, being online less, spending more time studying (actually that's a given).

So, it's time to take a deep breath and get rid of this discombobulated feeling I've been dealing with.

What do you do to get back on track after crazy periods?
