Time to Take Care

I think that my vacation made me realize that I need to take better care of myself. I work full time including travel, I'm in grad school, I'm married, and I have to try to keep up with all the other adult responsibilities. I'm tired.

So, I realize that I need to make a concerted effort to keep healthy physically and emotionally. This means that I need to take some steps to live a balanced life.

First Step: Make a Schedule
1. Personal activities
2. 1 hour per day for school work
3. Make time for packing healthy lunches
4. Exercise

Looong week

So, between job scares for both genders in this marriage, it's been an interesting week.

Back in the states after Rwanda and Ireland... both amazing

Our vacation was actually relaxing, I didn't worry, which is completely un-natural for me. It was fantasitc!!

Now that we're back home I'm worrying about funding in 6 months and if congress is going to completely fuck us over. So I've been neck ddep in paperwork, conference calls, and school work, since we returned. Thats ok though because it's the life we chose.

Fall quarter started on Monday. I think that it's going to be a lot better that summer!! I have my favorite prof and the class has real world experience which should add a lot to our discussions.

Bonus of the week.. I might get to go to the annual meeting and hear Bill Clinton and more importantly Paul Farmer (!!!!!) speak. I'm waiting to hear if our counterparts are going to make it as that determines my eligibility but I'm keeping the hope
