The power of caffeine lets me do wonderful things (gym, dancing at all hours) but one cannot live by caffeine alone (the horror). Because of this and the aftereffects of the antihistamine along with the weekend imbibing we have to stay hydrated, so keeping up with the water filter and ready stores of Diet 7up and Diet Ginger Ale are a must.
My weekends have been good, I have done good for others and have had a fun time along the way. Thank goodness my temporary house guest arrangement has found somewhere else to dwell at this time. I will be the first one to admit that I myself have personal space issues in my own space and home but even 7 days was 7 days too long (really). I have nothing personal against any of my friends and may in the future extend that favor once again. However for now I always seem to have interesting things pop up when I am suddenly constrained in my modes of action and my home office is supposed to be my office and not a hotel or bed and breakfast. As such I need to be able to move with complete unimpeded access in my own house to go where I need to do work, find things, get books, and put stuff away. Of course if the room is being slept in on the regular that can't happen until they are out of the way, and that can't happen until they have someplace to go. I am happy tha
t has happened for now. And I am glad I was able to talk and advise them on their little sojourn with me.I am happy I had my weekends as my own and was only constrained slightly time-wise on those days. The little things are even more important when your day-to-day is interrupted. I have taken solace in cooking, and going to the gym and of course my weekend.
There is a lot to look forward to in the coming months and I will be doing my best to prepare accordingly. I am still there for my friends, but I have to be a friend to myself and my well being foremost. If I give until the giving is gone, I will just be left with the leftover and end up feeling that emptiness. Since we left the empty heart behind in the last century, I have no inkling to be a whipping post/dumping ground/beast of burden for anyone, or anything again anytime soon.
Thank Goodness for Love, Thank goodness for Friends, Thank Goodness for Fun.
The days are long the nights are steep but my promises made are mine to keep, the world is wide and so is the street, but I have plenty of time to sleep. Yes I will schedule when I sleep.
