but we're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy
So work's gone a little ballistic on me. I guess they're paying me for it now (woo!), and the responsibility is somehow liberating, but one of my colleagues who was ignored for candidacy when I got my promotion is not hiding the fact that he wants to leave and me going to all these meetings put me back further than where I was at the beginning of each day. I feel that even working 10 hour days I would never catch up. So I finally taught myself not to kill myself over it. Don't get me wrong, I work hard, and I'll meet deadlines (at least the most urgent ones). But there is always going to be too much work, and as good as work is to me, it's not the biggest thing in my life.

We've started doing the Purpose Driven Life for home group - trying to get in the swing of doing four studies a week is a little tricky. It's been a while since I've even done regular bible readings. Though our home group has expanded a little and I'm loving having two more young married women in our group. One of them has just moved over from the UK with her husband and two daughters but her husband isn't Christian, so we pray for him often. The other has had amazing answers to prayers and she always prays as though God has already answered her somehow - her faith is a really good witness to all of us.

Stu and I were going to be at Cornerstone this weekend but as Stu needed more time to do his forward planning document before he starts his prac on Tuesday, he pulled out, and I decided to stay home with him to make sure he eats and sleeps and has some company. I hate punishing him with loneliness because he's doing the right thing. Besides, I helped him out with some formatting stuff so he didn't kill the computer, so that has to have helped ^_^

We have also invested in some good quality exercise equipment from Orbit and I've already spent over an hour on the treadmill today. It's great - I can watch TV and exercise at the same time. That was what frustrated me about the aerobics DVD - the exercise was fine, but I didn't want to watch the DVD for half an hour. How boring. Not that Friends DVDs are exactly enlightening, but still...

Anyways, we're somehow holding together at the moment. Tupperware and Undercoverwear orders are about to come in, and with the new equipment and Stu on prac and not working we're going into cash-only purchases soon :) There's so many more things I want to do with my time, but it's hard to get out of the rut of get up, get ready for work, commute, work, commute, relax, dinner, relax, bed. I also feel sometimes that I should culture myself - go to outdoor cinema, find some chic stores, you know, generally get out of the house and do stuff other than bum out with friends. Maybe after Stu's finished prac :P
