Damn!

Why am I not writing anything since May?!???

Not good. 

But juggling 8-13-job with 14-18-teaching and 19-24-project-work is no walk in the park. I realised that as much as I like working, too much is too much. And having a regular office hour seriously cramped my style. I felt choked, chained, stuffed, and burned out faster than gasoline.

Fortunately my employers who also happens to be my GOOD friends (haha!) understood very much and gave me my freedom back. They didn't grant my wish to resign but they gave some room for flexibility including about my office hour and limited my responsibilities. Nice people! I'm so grateful. 

But it's really difficult to get back into old habits once you've abandoned them. I stop exercising during fasting month and now I can only manage 2 days a week to walk on the treadmill. My time management when it comes to sport sucks big time. I also stop writing on my gratitude journal when the preparation for the June festival escalated. Shameful, I know. It's strange though. Why does it seem that only the good habits leave you when you're busy? And you start developing bad ones, like eating whatever it is you can find on the fridge, praying super fast with your mind wandering around, or sleeping late or very little (I was sleeping for 4-5 hours a night for the past 6 months and now I still sleep that much even though my body needs more and I have plenty of time to indulge in this luxury.) Somebody should start a research on that. 

Enough with this nonsense, though. It's time to go back to healthy living and try to find some good, solid rhythm for everything. And it starts with sleep.

NOW would be a good time, Mutia. Off to bed.
