Work has been kicking my butt lately. I've been given additional responsibilities which is great since it shows that they are trying to grow my skills. But not so great since I've been overwhelmed with other aspects of my life. All the hats I'm juggling are getting to me. This morning I was ready to call everything quits all because Clyde forgot to take out the trash/recycling/compost causing me to have to scramble this morning to get it all out. This then caused me to be 20 minutes late and it was like the world was ending.

I think the biggest thing weighing on me right now is that my wedding business isn't doing so hot. I keep telling myself it's the economy and I just need to be patient. I'm not the only one in the biz who's feeling the pinch. But I'm so discouraged. I wonder if I should take it as a sign that I need to close this chapter and move on.

I'm sure I will return soon, restored back to my silly self obsessing over whether or not to get a bathing suit with horizontal stripes. Until then, I'll take the advice of a twitter friend and focus on breathing.
