Happy Tuesday, friends!
Work has been extra stressful for me the last month or so. I really do not like myself when I'm stressed! I get cranky, mean and just plain unpleasant to be around.
Oh, and lets not forget the worst part,
I cry!
Luckily it has not come to tears quite yet, and I can see a light at the end of the tunnel thanks to the addition of a wonderful new assistant and some great, patient and quick learning doctors!
I have never been the person to train someone. In my mind, I can get the job done faster and with no mistakes, so I should just do whatever it is in the first place. It's hard for me to let go of that "I'll just do it" mentality and delegate duties to other people because if they do it wrong, I'll end up doing it anyways!
Despite, or maybe even because of all the craziness at work, I've been pushing myself the go ahead to go out a little more than I usually do.
Nothing crazy (although, I did have a couple crazy nights that are a little fuzzy!), but fun things to get out of the house, or to make me not go stir crazy in the house!
I've been taking my 2 little monsters on some nice walks around the neighborhoods. I usually take them to Mission Bay, but you can't walk there with dog's until 6:00PM. By that time, I've lost all motivation!
I've been working in the garden a lot more. Our grapes are growing in like crazy and they are oh so delicious!
I've been learning how to crochet! I made my friend a crochet hanger for her wedding dress, and now I'm hooked! Thank goodness for YouTube and Pinterest! I've noticed more and more that my family likes to be doing things with their hands. Be it crocheting, embroidering, playing a hand held game, playing on a phone, eating... We can't just sit and watch tv, we have to be doing something!
I went hiking for the first time in months! My girlie and I made pretty good time too! Only 1 rest stop going up, a 10 minute break at the top and we jogged down. It took us an hour! Yay us! That explains why I'm walking like a 90 year old woman 2 days later ;).

My hunny and I went to our friends little housewarming gathering up in Del Mar last weekend. He moved into this HUGE old house and he has 6 or 7 roommates (they all have their own rooms and there is MORE than enough space for everyone in this house!) so he had a few friends over for a little party. This house has a billiard room, a gigantic kitchen, a Smush room (guest bed tucked into a cute little nook!) and the coziest living room complete with a bed full of fluffy pillows and HULA HOOPS!!!!
(I can actually remember the last time I hula hooped. It was in 1998 on an 8th grade field trip to Knotts Soak City.)
I didn't think I'd still be able to do it! I guess it's like riding a bike though :). All the girls had so much fun!

How's that for getting your mind off work :).
I hope you all are having a wonderful start to your week! Until next time my friends!
