Lethargic.....

Hey friends, I don't know what my deal is lately, but I have been constantly exhausted this summer. Maybe it's long term recuperation from several years of maniacal busyness and over-achievement syndrome. Now that I'm done with college, done with serving a full-time mission, and living on the beach - I feel like my body is catching up with me. I think the craziness of this summer could also add to it. And now that I'm back permanently and trying to settle into my new life here in California, my body is screaming SLOW DOWN!!!!!!!!! I'm not one to move very slow, I'm constantly trying to do toooo many things at once. But I don't know what else to do other than do a lot. I feel a lot of pressure to figure out how to really stand on my own two feet, and that is definitely a driving force to my madness. Living in California is not cheap. Being an adult is not cheap. But I don't feel like financial stress should guide such a big part of my life. I'm really trying to figure out how to be more well-balanced in life. It's hard to find said balance. 

*Insert sigh here*

That being said, back to work I go. I took the long weekend off with my girlfriend who came into town from Arizona. Now I'm scrambling to catch up with work today. But I've had a hard time today doing that. Yesterday we went and played at the tide pools at Dana Point. I hit a big slippery, slimy rock and fell super hard backwards. It appeared that I just got a big fatty bruise on my bum, but I woke up this morning with the worst back pain of my life. Yes, you guessed it - that pain is shooting straight from my bum all the way up my back. It's bizarre. And I'm a clutz. 

I need to find a heating pad still and lay on it all night, along with downing a bottle of ibuprofen. Sorry, I don't mean to sound like I'm complaining. Just stating my current condition. I was all revved up yesterday to go to the gym this morning, set my alarm for 7:30am, got up, tried to stand up without much success, rather with lots of pain, and decided to lay back down and go back to sleep. So much for all that motivation. Say hello to fake Monday mornings. :)

That's it. I'm just tired and achy today. I feel older than I am. It'll wear off. And hopefully my vitamin B12 pills help out too.
