My life has been crazy busy lately. And by lately, I mean the past couple of months in particular. I'm working two jobs, maintaining the semblance of a social life, in the midst of a new relationship, trying to fullfill church callings, get to the temple, and still maintain the basic day-to-day tasks.
It's a lot to handle for a hopeless introvert like myself.
I'm coming off of a ridiculously long day, and week for that matter. Let's put it this way. For the first month I was dating Dr. D, it was his schedule as a medical student that made it difficult for us to see or talk to one another. The past few weeks, it's been my schedule. With that in perspective, I was extremely grateful when today finally came to an end. I worked with some great clients at one job, bonded with books at the other, but my back had given out on me hours before the day had done.
When I got home, I watched a few minutes of the Olympics (my favorite pasttime!) before quickly checking some email. Waiting for me was a message from an artist I met one of my first weekends here in Columbus. I ended up buying one of her pieces and ran into her nearly a month ago now at work. She invited me to her gallery and asked me to write to her to keep our correspondence up.
I didn't do it. It's not like I didn't want to, but I just always forgot. But the fates smiled on me this evening, and she had sent me an email! What a pleasant surprise! After my weeks of neglecting certain tasks and negligence towards friends, this woman remembered me and reached out to me. Not such a bad end to a ridiculously long day...
