Feeling Fantastic

The last month has been insane. Really, truly insane. I heard that a study showed that sleep deprivation can drive you a bit nuts. But I feel fantastic! I got through my kidney stone laser surgery (and the solid week of feeling yucky afterwards followed by fevers and infections...), and then I got to work. Work was building up to a huge milestone, and I kept finding more ways that I could help work towards it. This included working some third shift hours (starting really early in the morning) and it included staying late a lot too. And the work paid off. The big event went fantastic, and I'm enjoying a few days of having everyone at work really happy with the part I played. I know a lot of people played equally huge roles in the week's success, and several people worked longer and harder and had more to do than I did, but it sure feels nice when your team works so hard on something and then it goes well! I'm proud of our work, I'm happy with the nice attention we've received, and I am really happy that I have been able to make and keep good friends at work even through all this craziness.

It got me thinking a little bit that perhaps some of the less happy stuff that's happened in my life has helped me to really enjoy the good stuff. This is definitely the good stuff!

And a big thank you to my mom for hemming the new pants I needed in order to look professional for the big week! I love you, Mom!
