I did the math today to figure out how many hours I’ve worked so far (mostly to see how much money I’m making), and I figured out that I am averaging 12-hour workdays; and that doesn’t include the time I spend doing chores around the house like cooking dinner, tending to the dogs, general cleaning, etc. It’s kind of ridiculous when you think about it. I’m also averaging about 6 hours of sleep a night, which is really not working for me. The good news is that even though I’m not making anything close to minimum wage, I’m racking up a bit of money with all the crazy hours I’m working.
To avoid the inevitable burnout that comes with working such intense hours I'm taking off again this weekend (well, I'm taking off Sunday anyway). I'm thinking that another big hike in the Shenandoah is just what I need to rejuvenate me.
I still have to work tomorrow though, and I have my work cut out for me with mowing around the vegetable plots, transplanting some seedlings, and tons of weeding. Thankfully because I'm house sitting and taking care of a dog for some friends this weekend I get to start work a bit later, so hopefully I can sleep in a bit.
this is Cara our new herding dog, still just a puppy though.
