As I'm taking stock of how I'm feeling this Monday morning, I noted that I'm feeling tired and run down (not surprising given that things are so go-go-go without much extended down time). These are generally the perfect ingredients for me to get sick, which is almost how I feel right now. As this awareness hit me, I had a flashback to getting sick the week of the Chicago Marathon in 2006. And, well, I kind of have a pretty big race coming up this weekend too. Great.
I'm also still really struggling with the demands of the teaching gig. It is taking a toll on me emotionally, physically, and in my relationship with K as well. As I was ruminating in bed last night, I had another realization - if part of the reason that I am doing this is for the money (which it is), then I could easily be making the same amount (if not more) with one psychological evaluation in private practice with less time required. That put it into perspective.
And, another thing, my pre-race massage that I had scheduled weeks ago (because I'm a planner) got canceled yesterday. There's no way that I can fit one in before we leave on Friday morning either. So, that just sucks.
