Creative Meanderings

I’m totally wiped out from this week and it’s only half-way – well, thankfully it’s now down to the last two days! It has been a nutty week at work with a new campus, new course, new managers and the same ol’ BS. 😛 Will update more later, but it’s time for me to veg out right now!  

It’s been a busy week. My posting run has slowed down considerably…not sure if I will be able to keep up as regularly, but we shall see. Anyway, spent most of the week wondering what to prepare and catching up with people. Plus, getting used to the new campus has been tiring…. It takes 20 minutes from end-to-end. Average time to a meeting from my office takes anywhere from 2minutes (down the hall)…

As the day to return to work draws nearer, I find myself feeling a little depressed. It’s not that I oppose working, or even that the job itself is bad. I mean, really, how can I complain about having the holidays that I have?? So, I have been trying to sort out why I seem to have this down feeling when I actually used to like preparing to head to work. At the…

Hard to believe another month is about to start. Just another couple more days of vacation freedom, but I suppose it will be good to get back into the swing of things at work. I know that it will start off with a sprint, so I am working hard to just enjoy the last bit of slow days! 😀 [simage=4219,288,n,center,]

I joke that I don’t do anything that makes me sweat…; it’s mostly true, but getting older means that I should try to be conscientious about my health. So, I try to eat a little less (still love food, tho!) and exercise. When I moved to Abu Dhabi I got into swimming regularly despite my previous general dislike towards the ocean. Swimming in the Arabian Gulf is easy. 🙂 Plus, even though I…
