Friday reflection, mixed emotions – 4/26/24

I hope everyone is doing okay. It’s been a very tough, emotional week. Without releasing personal details I got terrible news of my older sister who is sick and I can only pray for her to go into remission.

On another note, I feel like I’ve been on a treadmill and haven’t been able to get off. The balance of home and work is not easy to juggle. I force myself to get off work to go home because I am busy and don’t feel I’m at a good stopping point, but my family comes first. I don’t feel productive some days because I go without getting any direction, it delays my productivity until I begin calling around and can finally find a person that provides that one small piece of information that is crucial. There are so many deadlines that I had to stop urgent matters of accounting cleanup to start a new project with a deadline of Tuesday! I didn’t even know until today. There’s chaos in my mind, my work, and personal that I want to crawl into my shell of protection and not come out hoping for it to go away on its own. The one person that should really help doesn’t but will announce to people that she will take care of it. I ultimately started working on the new project without any training or asking questions. I began submitting the summer tasks into workflow for each investigator.

I need time off to reset. I’m glad it’s Friday and I’m going home to my sanctuary. All the Best!
