The More I Do, The More I Want To Do

I've been feeling really productive lately.

My hours at work have increased (thank God) and so I'm working mostly 8-5, with some other shifts worked in there as well, and interestingly enough, the more I work at work the more productive I feel when I get home....most of the time. Some of you may be laughing at me because 8-5 are normal hours, but going from not many hours to a lot of hours, especially in a drug rehab, is pretty challenging. Sometimes I'm just incredibly drained, like Thursday when I worked 8-7, that was a long day so I came home and crashed, but lately I've been getting a lot done around the house even after my long days at work. I like that feeling. I feel like I deserve my sleep when I finally lie in bed at night.

Today is my day off and I told myself yesterday that I wasn't going to let myself sleep in too much because I want my body to get used to getting up early for work and I don't want to ruin that on the weekends, so I got up at 9:00 today. This is so not like me. I'd normally be wanting to sleep until 11 or sometimes even later. But I got up, had a healthy meal, went to the eye doctor, ran errands and then came home and went on a run. After my run I went out back and played with Duke, and now I'm resting because I'm hot and tired, but the moral of the story is that the more I do, the more I want to do.

My resolution for this year was to be more productive, and I think I'm becoming very productive with my days. I love this feeling!
