Lately I have been having a hard time getting the right balance of things... I feel like it is one of the tests of the world in which most folks are pulling a consistent C, maybe C+. Or maybe that is just my perspective, but due to the fairly recent onslaught of energy drinks and their growing sizes in ounces (liquid crack) I am willing to bet I am on to something here.
I get morning emails from a site called Steepandcheap, occasionally I get something from there but this mornings email really sums up one of my recent thoughts...How timely....
"When other people go on weekend trips they return to work on Monday feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. This is not the case for me. If I'm visiting friends, then Monday is the second half of two days of complete exhaustion that can only come with staying up until 4am and getting in a fight with some guy who pulled your tie. If I've gone camping or traveling, then I'm exhausted from walking too far and planning my return flight for 4am Monday to give me a few extra hours outside. The only time I feel relaxed after a weekend is if I do nothing, but then I just feel guilty for wasting my weekend. You can't win. You either have to quit work or work all the time."

GAH! That is SO TRUE!
Lately I've been feeling like it's really hard work to actaully use the weekend as a refresher instead of two days into which I can cram all the fun I want.
I thought the exact same thing when I read that email this morning.
The problem is you work to hard at work! The work weeks is there so you can get some rest in before good long weekend of fun.
