The weather is gloomy today, and I am feeling a little tired and run down. I didn’t sleep that well and the clocks fell back so I’m sure that’s all contributing to my overall malaise. I did fight the urge to stay inside all day, and went to spin class before food shopping:
I have a lot of work to do, and I can feel my stress levels rising. Even though I know it would be a good idea to get busy and just do what I need to do – the truth is, I don’t really want to do any of it.
