trying to get lost in work

As of Wednesday, I have returned to work, and must say am very...comfortable to have done so. So many things I wanted to make note of and document; tasks that have been left by the wayside all summer to tackle; extra hours to put in to stock up on time off for upcoming travel (because I simply don't do that enough!).

Other than that, am trying also to occupy the mind with work tasks so as to not have it wander into fields of thought that are at the moment the propogator of all forms of worry, doubt, tension, angst, skepticism...etc etc, not to mention a little sadness, mostly of missing people. It has been a long time since the ache of missing people has been present, meaning I suppose that it has been a long time since I have been around those that are meaningful enough to me to cause a palpable sadness with their absence. Which, I suppose, is a good thing - the addition of good people to the life list of connections can only be positive.

And it seems as though Autumn has descended - it's chillier, the leaves are falling, and darkness has taken over my waking hours, making it more and more difficult to get up for Tae Bo at the right time. But I have much to look forward to over the coming months - back to Canada, back to Porto, and, of which I have become most excited about, BACK to Barcelona!! This just a recent development of yesterday, after deciding I needed to celebrate my Half Birthday with a most cherished friend. Will be wonderful to see the city again too.

I think I really need to seriously catch up on some sleep. Perhaps this weekend I can at least manage to be semi-conscious for enough time to rejuvenate some enthusiasm.
