Pull the Stick Out

Last night, my roommate and good friend called me regimented.

She is without a doubt, completely right about this. It's a huge fault of mine.

We were talking about a happy hour that we have planned today. I was saying how much I am looking forward to it, even though I have lots to get done tonight.

I have a tendency to immediately want to say no to things. I get this from my dad. My mom has always that.

I keep myself on a pretty strict schedule during the week. Work, lunch at home, gym, quick shower, over to ______'s house, home by 10:30, bed. If I don't go to the gym, it is errands after work. I rarely ever come home after work and just relax. Maybe I need to. Maybe I would feel less hectic if I took one day a week to just not do anything or go anywhere.

On the weekends, I realize I need to accomplish things because I spend a lot of time at ______'s house during the week. But when the weekend comes around, I have been my own drill sergeant all week and I just want to lay on the couch and zone out with the TV.

Let me make some things clear:

1. I realize that I am responsible for the things I choose to do and the way I spend my time.
2. My friends and family should not have to suffer, for lack of a better word, when I have run myself ragged.
3. Being cranky doesn't exactly make things any better. Get over yourself, Heather.

  2. Don't change because someone made you feel bad about it. Planning is good, order is good. No one is suffering because of it. I love you just the way you are and I have set a recurring calendar request to remind you of this. ;)
