Monday zest

It’s a rainy Monday here in New York and I’m in the office by myself. The entire coworking space is nearly empty and people seem to have decided to stay home today given the light rain. There’s no rain on my parade though as I’m feeling great.

After an exhausting but nice weekend trip to Baltimore, we’re back home and I finally got a great night of sleep. There’s just nothing like sleeping on your own mattress and being home especially after a lot of travel. After being gone for 2 weekends, I just want to be home for a few weeks to relax and enjoy the city. I’m finally getting some downtime.

I got up early and got a quick workout in the morning. I was at my desk a little after 9 and hope to have a full day of grinding to get my week started off right. My Mondays have been a lot better lately. I used to struggle mightily to get going on Mondays and I feel like I’m finally over the hump.

I believe part of that was just being exhausted from the weekends and overdoing things socially in the past. Perhaps another part of it is that my weekends are perhaps a bit more fulfilling now with Colin around.

Whatever it is, it’s been nice starting out my week energized again. Having the energy to go workout in the mornings is something completely new in the last month or so. I can only imagine how great I’ll feel once I start actually getting more rest on the weekends as well. Baby steps.
