Stop the Presses – I Took The Day Off!

I’m feeling kind of …… blah today.  Not sad or depressed or grumpy just blah.  I don’t even know how to explain it because there really isn’t any emotion to go along with ‘blah’.

One of my clients called me this morning and we chit chatted about business and we were talking about how she noticed that last week I was pulling some long shifts into the wee hours of the morning (email has to have the time on there doesn’t it? LOL) and I told her yes and for the most part I felt like I was spinning my wheels because all the work I was doing didn’t end up to be a lot of ‘billable’ hours. 

We talked about how sometimes I feel like I’ve let my business run me instead of me running it.  And one of the things I’m working on is setting boundaries and changing things and learning that I’m boss – I make the decisions not someone else. 

So in the process of lack of sleep last week I’m feeling a bit run down this week, a little cold (stuffy nose, cough & some chest congestion) seems to be trying to take over my body and I’m doing my best to fight it. 

So my client this morning tells me I’m giving you permission to email your clients and tell them I’m (me) taking the rest of the day off for a break so that I can be efficient for them.  (I don’t remember her exact words but those were the jist of them).

So after we got off the phone (and I really love that my clients aren’t just business people that we also have built friendships) I sat here laughing.  I mean how funny that one of my clients was telling me she was giving me permission to take the rest of the day off – too funny.

But you know what?  I followed her advice.  I did take the rest of the day off (I’m only on right now because I have to post every single day for Nell’s 30 day blog challenge which is going on day 2 now and you really should join if you haven’t!).  Caleb and I spent some mommy & son time together – not doing anything spectacular, watched some TV and then he let me take a nap. 

I do feel rested even though an hour nap didn’t seem to be long enough. LOL. But for some reason I’m still just feeling blah. 

I’m sure this to shall pass.

    Good for you and for your client. I have a feeling I know which one you’re talking about. Sounds like how she is. Such a sweetie. hehe You need to take the time to relax and enjoy that you’re a business owner. Easier said then done sometimes, I know.

    Good for you Tishia! You gotta take care of yourself.

    If I don’t get enough down time Iget crispy all around the edges and that isn’t any fun for anybody.

    It’s always a great idea to take a break once in a while!
