It's Thursday. Woooooo.

I'm tired, but the sun is up, so there's no point trying to sleep. I was out of town two weeks in a row, and came back to a busy week of church prep. Our first preview service is this Sunday, and there have been a lot of details to attend. It's simultaneously exciting and exhausting.

I'm almost done with the fro yo shop. I'm training my successor to do paperwork tomorrow. My boss is supposed to be there so they can work out logistics of getting things done, and I'm interviewing more people for the summer. I have a college student coming back, and a high school student leaving. I'd like to say tomorrow will be my last day, but I don't know. I gave my boss until June 1, which shook out to 6 weeks' notice, so I can walk away guilt-free. It's been years, decades maybe, since I've walked away from a job without moving or the business closing.

I haven't worked on the book in weeks. I've done blog posts. That's it. I hope to get back into it today, but I don't know if I will. My brain is foggy despite taking the appropriate supplements and eating real food. Based solely on numbers, I've gotten enough sleep. I'll try taking a walk in a bit to see if that helps. Maybe I should curl up with a book. Or do some garden prep while it's not raining. There are some Hulu shows I'd like to catch up on, but I don't know that sitting in front of the TV all day is going to help. If I'm as over-stimulated as I think, that's not what I need to do.

I thinking living in an urban area isn't ideal for me. The first morning I woke up at Mom's, before I opened my eyes, I thought, "It's soooo quiet!" I miss quiet. Even when I'm home alone there's ambient city noise. It kind of sucks because we both have jobs here we really like and at least 15 years until retirement.

The good news in all of this is things are finally slowing down. I have almost everything ready to go for Sunday. After that I'll have one staff meeting a week, and no more than two weeks left in my fro yo shop commitment. I'm getting room to breathe again. Finally.
