I’m terrible at telling when I’m over-stressed. I’ve started using my emotional vulnerability as an indicator and initiated a multi-faceted plan on Monday to get more sleep. It’s amazing in retrospect to look at all the battles I was fighting without realizing them. From another angle, just as I find peoples actions when they are drunk to be interesting indicators of their personality, it’s interesting to consider what is important to me when I just can’t fight any longer. It is an amazing acknowledgement of my resilience that I’ve been managing so well and so productively despite these stressors for almost a year now.

Word on the street is that the mayor is coming to visit one of my projects tomorrow. Also, Friday I met with some management types in PDX about starting a Seattle edition of the companie’s community involvement committee. These two events mark significant milestones. I’m unconvinced I have the time resources to take all of my plans to their proper fruition, but I’m glad they’re moving along.

I’m convincing myself to spend some money and take some vacation this summer. Some of the prospects are exciting, which is what is important. I need to be excited.

I have long lists of things to do right now, but I’m tired and uncomfortable. If I can’t read I’ll watch a movie or something.
