DAY 203 OF 365: SUNDAY IS SUPPOSED TO BE A DAY OF REST; NOT FOR ME

I wish I could say "And on the seventh day Dave rested". However, I was up early and out the door headed to the office by 9am. This is the busy season for me and that means sometimes working seven days a week and sometimes 24 hours. You might think that I am exaggerating but in this industry and especially with my job, I am sometimes on call at all hours of the day. That can be difficult when trying to be healthy, staying consistent with working out and eating healthy. The perfect example was that I bought all of this great produce and fruit planning on grilling and cooking with them only to get so busy that I forgot about them. So of course it has begun to go bad. So today before working I cleaned up the strawberries and fruit that I could salvage and froze it for smoothies. The cucumbers and lemons I ended up juicing along with my watermelon and spinach and oddly enough had a tasty green juice. So though I didn't use them how I had planned, they still turned out tasty. But the point is, being this busy I find that I don't have that much time. I miss out on fun things with friends and feel left out even though I have been included. But, this is the career I have chosen and I can't let it define me. My job can't define who I am, only I can.
I got home today from work late and all I wanted to do was sleep, especially since I have to be up at 4am to be on set for Law and Order: SVU. However, as usual, that didn't happen. I ended up cleaning and doing laundry and fading on the couch and then being woken up. It is now 10:45pm and I can't sleep. I tossed and turned and I am sure that I won't get a good nights sleep. But hey, that's why there is coffee. So, off to bed I go again. Lets see if this time it lasts. Till tomorrow.
