Of work and play.

In many ways the last two weeks have been, work wise, some of the toughest in the last 3 or so years. I had to fill in for 3 people that had holidays planned long ago, for a week for two at the same time! And worked turned out hectic around that time. Crises after crises, deadline after deadline.

Hence, I am exhausted today after stressing, working in the evenings and over the weekend. I am looking forward to a slightly more relaxed week. I hope. Today I did the presentation for the big one, and it went well. Now the really hard work on it begins. I wish I could tell you what I am doing, but if you live in Pretoria, big things could be happening in a shopping center near you.

I am happy to report that I have survived really done well on another solo weekend. Hunter was exploring the Pilansberg and recharge the batteries. We seem to have our pace and rhythm when Hunter is not around and although I do not seem to get much done in terms of house etc, we are all happy and content. But gosh, it is nice to have him back!

Our neighbors had a Bollywood party on Friday night - loud Bollywood music blaring and lots of shouting and cheering. Kept the little boys awake a bit but after they stopped at 11pm (really I can not complain) we all had a good sleep. I wish I could see what was happening - it sounded cheerful although at the time, I was all but smiling. I was cursing... Did I mention that it is good to have Hunter back?

  1. wow you sure are coping with lots...
    I was told MS could be caused by too much stress...so take care of yourself..stress is not a good thing...and make sure you supplement.

    Glad that your stressful period is now hopefully over.
