Yeah, it’s recently felt a lot like that. It doesn’t matter how much I do, or how little in some cases, I feel like it’s not enough. I feel like I’m swimming uphill, and it’s one of the worst feelings in the world. \ud83d\ude2e\u200d\ud83d\udca8 It’s exhausting, draining, and completely destroys my morale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Little Domo has tried to help, but there’s only so much a tiny little plushie can do. Plus, he has short arms, and that never helps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

RJK has done her best, reminding me to take my meds\ud83d\udc8a, to eat when I need to \ud83e\udd6a, and tries to discourage me from going to work early and staying late \ud83c\udf0c. I truly appreciate her more than she knows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been working on my code recently, and it’s been a real challenge. Not only is the code complicated for my understanding of PHP, but I’ve been finding it hard to concentrate and focus even with my meds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, it seems like I am stalling my coding by journaling here, so I’ll put an end to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today’s featured image is of my favorite Little Domo ornament from the tree. I kept it out of storage when we packed up the Christmas stuff, and it’s new home is my computer tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See? Short arms. \ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P.S. – Just got called in to work. Heading to Atlanta again. Wish me luck \ud83e\udd1e.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
