taking a break

i got a manicure during my "lunch break" today. i just needed to take a break from work and life to pamper myself.

i have been working very hard, mentally and physically. i have been so indescribably hungry for the past week or so...more than i remember ever being on this diet before. especially on week 5.

i'm not saying that my little manicure break allowed me to recharge. but it certainly felt good. i was so great to walk into the nail salon and have it empty. i got an extra free massage and it was so fast. i was in and out in under 30 minutes. that never happens in the afternoon!

i just love walking around during the day. i wish i had more time to do things...and was chained to my desk in front of a computer all day. i think my eyes have outgrown these contacts...i'm getting headaches from looking at my computer all day long. that does not make doing my job easier. it makes me want to get up and escape the office for a few hours!

i think everyone should do it every once in awhile. take an extra long lunch. go away for the weekend. take a personal day. do it for yourself and your mental health. it make not solve all your problems, but it lets you have a few moments to yourself, to just think about yourself and what you want. aahhh.
