The last month hasn’t been the best.\u00a0 I’ve been working at least one day each weekend and 60+ hours each week; I’ve been back and forth to the West coast twice.\u00a0 I have early morning calls with India and evening calls with the West coast.\u00a0 I’m just tired.<\/p>\n\t

I have work on my house I have to do, but I can’t get time.\u00a0 I have to stain my deck, put up a light, pressure wash the side of my house, and paint my shutters.<\/p>\n\t

I’ve talked about all this before; in fact…..the feeling that I go from one thing to the next, never resting….probably describes most of the US.\u00a0 I should stop complaining.<\/p>\n\t

Regardless, it is bad for your health.\u00a0 Stress isn’t so bad, but long hours, a lack of exercise, and spotty sleep do take their toll…especially lack of exercise.\u00a0 I don’t have time to play tennis; those two hours in the evening I used for exercise are now taken up by work or chores or whatever.<\/p>\n\t

On another note, I went to see the Indigo Girls in concert last night.\u00a0 They are really one of my favorite bands, and I’m happy to report they are simply awesome in concert….perfect.\u00a0 Its amazing that so much sound can come from two guitars and two voices.\u00a0 I loved it.<\/p>\n\t

Hopefully in the next few weeks things will return to normal…whatever that is.\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
