Otherwise, this week should be equally hectic. I have my deadline for my client on December 15th which means I'll be working late and over the coming weekend. I keep telling myself that the sacrifice is all worth it. I keep saying that. But sometimes I wonder. It's a bit sad when you work so hard to reach all of your goals and you sit there alone, at the curbside-to-go parking spot at Carraba's  to celebrate the latest news. After I reach my deadline, I want to focus on preparation for India. It's hard to believe the trip is only 2 months away. I want to make sure I properly document my experience by photo and journal.  Lots of miscellaneous things I need to buy...and I need to make sure I have the proper attire for the country. I'm hoping this won't be a once-in-a-lifetime experience and that I'll have the opportunity to travel again. 

Ok...a moment of honesty. I'm a bit down right now and the words just aren't coming out of my head. What's wrong? Nothing really. I think I'm lonely. I tend to get this way when I get into high-intense work mode and sometimes I just need a hug. Just a regular "I genuinely care about you" hug. I think I push myself to the point that I give so much (to Ty, work) and am in constant "go" mode that I just need to receive a bit. I normally self-medicate by a trip to the spa but that hasn't been a part of my budget lately. I guess I feel a bit wounded...that's the best way of putting it. I'm hoping that a good night's rest well allow me to get up refreshed and ready to start my week. Maybe if I cry a bit I'll feel better. Prayer and crying seem to always work well.
