Running empty

I’m just back from the gym. It’s a beautiful morning, the sun is shining and the sky is blue. The sun is filling me with energy, and I need it. Last week was far too busy.  This week doesn’t look to be any better. Reinout and I are leaving for Copenhagen on Thursday. In the meantime we are closing in on our project launch and there are a lot of detailed work to do. I can feel the rush, breathing down my neck. It’s zapping my creativity completely. Instead my life is defined by lists nowadays. I write my action items down in the evening, distributing them as evenly as I can throughout the week. Yet there is not enough time to the day.

I dread the coming weeks. By the end of April I shall be exhausted. And this is when I’m suppose to go back to work. I need to find a solution for that. Extend my maternity leave until the end of May.  Because if not I fear my battery will have run empty.
