Boatload of Traveling
I've been traveling a lot for work lately. While it's fun being on expense, racking up major points on airlines and hotels - oh, and of course all the fun stuff like work and such - it's really draining on the body. It doesn't seem like much to take a taxi to get on a plane to get into a rental car and stay in a hotel then go to work then return the car to hop on another plane back home via taxi (I'm going to say that that passes the run-on sentence checker). But it does affect your health. Especially when you are sick to begin with. Or you inhale someone's infected recycled air in the flying tube in the sky. Think about that for a bit and it'll give you lovely thoughts about air travel.
Not only does the actual physical activity of traveling wear me down but the stress of juggling my job (along with all this travel), my acting career, an impending move to the DC area, and my marriage (not necessarily in that order!). But they are all high priority to me and sorting everything out is pain. One wonders how, as children, we have such a crazy active schedule (at least I did), with every minute of the day jam packed with some outlet - whether it was violin, piano, Junior Achievement, track, homework, and the all important napping and eating. I just don't even know how I did it. And this was all just after school stuff so why can't I do that now? Much like school, my day ends at 3:20. Just kidding. Actually, I don't even remember when my school day ended. 3:20 sounds awful early to me. OK, let's say 4:30. Track, til about 6 let's say. Home for dinner. Then homework. Or straight to orchestra practice. Man, that's nuts.
I long for the days when I can pack my day with ultra-productive work, executing on all these crazy money-making schemes I have in my head. But, as you know, I barely even have time to update this blog.
