I'm exhausted; this is personal
Monday 7/15/19...
Ugh...I'm so very tired this morning. I even reset my alarm to give myself an extra 20 mins of sleep. I don't think that's something I've ever done before. And I'm even considering a nap!
Not sure how I'm going to get my run done this morning. It's going to be a slow one though, that's for sure.
I had a Sunday wedding for one of my good friends, so I should need no further explanation than that : ) We got home at a reasonable hour and I even napped on the car ride home. Because, well, drinking.
I'm not hungover, I think the problem is I woke up around 3am. I wasn't feeling well and was super dehydrated and hot. I sat in my office with a fan directed at my face and drank a big glass of water, so that helped. And hey, even just writing this is helping me defog my head! So, I'll get through my morning and after my shower, give myself a 45-min nap if needed, then I'll start planning for the week. Thank god my boss is pretty cool like that : D
I'm actually going to have to plan for the next two weeks because all of next, I'm going to be remote. My wife and her brothers rented a house down the shore for a week. It was a Christmas present for their parents. It should be a good time, but I'm going to work through the week.
I'd like to maintain as much of my morning routine as possible and would like to do short days. If I just do work for my one client, call it a 30-hour workweek - should be manageable.
My only concern is that I haven't handled working remote so well. I like being at the home base and have my full set-up. And now I've got to do this for a full week? That's why it's super important for me to start planning the week out now. And maintaining my morning routine is critical. I'm a creature of habit so I need to wake up at the same time and be sure to write and run every morning!

This is an entry from my personal daily journal. I recently left the 9-5 to work for myself - something I've dreamed of for as long as I can remember. It's my hope that these posts inspire anyone looking to do the same or shed some light on what this journey is really like.
