Whirlwind

The last few days have been a bit of whirlwind for me. Working long hours, being intensely focused on one project and spending the entire day, sometimes straight through, working on one thing. Many people that just sitting at a desk and working on a computer all day is easy...in reality, it takes a toll on people just like other jobs. Granted, this may not be as physically demanding as some positions however mentally, it is draining. 

The last few days I feel like my head has been spinning. I have crammed so much data into my head after performing a number of data analytics and then writing a report about the data that i just want to stare at a tv and do nothing... or at least something that is mind-numbing. I'm just exhausted mentally....and haven't been sleeping well either. Maybe its the weather...which I absolutely love. I don't like the cold but the fall weather is quite enjoyable lately. The cool and crisp mornings...the drive to work with the windows open, and listening to some great music that I haven't listened to in awhile...ah...just soothing.

Then...the whirlwind of intensity and focus begins for many hours. The end of the day arrives and I look forward to....doing more work...but this time, for school.

Needless to say, I'm ready for a vacation. Even if its a day. Hopefully I will get that this Saturday when I hope to put aside all those things that seem to be all-consuming of my life and do something for me. I hope the weather is enjoyable and the coffee is always flowing for the day will be spent enjoying life, nature, and whatever else I can soak up.  Then, back to the whirlwind of life.  But...at least its one day.

Things I'm pondering...
... spin spin spin...boy do I feel dizzy
... is there anywhere in the world where its fall all the time?
... sleep is so far removed from my lifestyle, I won't know what to do when I sleep again...is that bad?
