Remember how on Sunday I said I was about to move into Step 4 of my work/life (im)balance cycle?  Well, I was right.  Too right.  Step 4 hit like a ton of bricks today at work — such that it feels a lot closer to Step 5 than I would like.  Superman is flying awfully close to cryptonite.

My plan is working, though.  Not being involved in choirs or other activities with ongoing commitments to other people has made the transition from awesome to lame less stressful than it otherwise would have been.  Instead of stressing about getting to rehearsal, I got to spend all afternoon canceling yoga classes and plans with friends.  It’s amazing how much work-time you can create when you cancel everything in your personal life.  Also demoralizing. 

So.  Breathe.  Go to bed. 

This too shall pass.
