All my afternoon meetings were canceled, so I decided to go to the gym at 4pm. I couched it as I would be running errands (I did have to stop at the market) but I wanted to do my treadmill and biking. I wanted a "leg day" too with the machines.
While I was on the treadmill, my phone was blowing up with Slack messages and discussions about some things going sideways and breaking. I communicated with the team and people were running with the situation, I didn't feel the need to just drop the workout and run. I got 4 miles on the bike while voice-messaging and then spell checking everything before sending to make sure the words were right. Gotta make sure the words were right.
I headed home, and picked up the conversations with the team. We all worked on the problem, I told 2 people to go get their work/life balance and that I was on it for the team.
Things got wrapped up around 8:30, success!
But honestly, it never fails. If I want to do something for myself things break. And I can't go and enjoy myself. At least most of what I had to do was type and listen and .... drink wine. And make dinner while everything was going sideways. We survived. And now I feel like I more than made up for the time I was away from the computer.
Tomorrow is Doug's birthday, and he picked where he wants to go for dinner. Geoff is working until 5 so we'll get him and bring him back here to get dressed, and then head out.
If I'm going to the gym? Maybe I have to .... ugh Get up early? Checking my schedule to see what the morning looks like.
