Mental Health Day

I played hookie for the first time in my life yesterday.  It felt so good.  I decided the night before that it was needed.  Truth is, work has been tough lately, to put it mildly.  Lots of changes going on, and we all know I'm not the best with change.  And I constantly have anxiety about all.of.the.things that need done.  So, I took the day to catch up on everything.

I started the day by running 5 miles {longest distance ever!} at the gym

Then came home and edited a few thousand photos 5 photography sessions while 'watching' {I never 'watch' tv, I just listen and glance up now and then when something catches my attention.  Is this how all mama's watch TV?} 3 episodes of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, 3 episodes of Duck Dynasty, and 2 episodes of Law & Order SUV {If you can't tell, I didn't move much from the couch all day}  Other than that, I did some laundry, responded to all emails & messages, and scheduled a few blog posts.

Adam brought home sushi & wine and then we spent the evening watching movies & eating popcorn for a little at home date night.

I also got to Face Time with the kids morning, noon, AND night! :)  *How did mama's do it before FT?!

Now the only thing I'm 'behind' on is photo books for the kids for the past 9 months.  So basically what I'm saying is that I need another mental health day or two before I'm actually caught up! :)

Letter from the boss..

I just wanted you to know confidentially that I have given your name to HR  for the "top talent" listing and you may be invited to future educational program for development of future leaders and managers.  They already know you transitioned to Medical Education Coordinator, but I just wanted you to be aware that you've been nominated.

I was pretty excited about this.  Although my boss would never complain, she doesn't give much positive reinforcement, it's just not her style.  So this meant a lot.  Hoping for another promotion in the future!  :)
