Absolutely knackered

I am absolutely knackered today from all that I went through since I came back from KL Monday last. Not just physically but more mentally. In the past when I could not summon the effort to go for a run, I would repeat the Armstrong mantra - "pain lasts a few days but regret lasts forever". If this doesn't work, then its "I've not regretted going for a run, but I have regretted not going for a run". Both did not work today.

All this started when I only managed some 3+ hours of sleep when I returned from the mother of all jams Monday night. It was off to work Tues, a run Tues night culminating in a blister from the orthotics. That was enough to set my spirits back because I was convinced before that the orthotics had been adjusted just right. I had to negotiate and work on some documentation for our family Wed and it was a rush to appoint counsel today that sapped whatever little I had left. I had always thought appointing counsel would be a relatively simply affair (and indeed, I appointed 2 different sets for my firm in the last 48hrs) but it was not. The problem lies in the fact that I have always relied on lawyers in the other departments will always be available but now that I have moved outside a law firm, that resource is no longer there. Friends have mostly ceased practice and those who continue to be active are in large firms, whom will have billing pressures to face.

So I'm tried from it all and will sleep early tonight. Tomorrow will bring its own rewards, which I am looking forward to.

God willing, we will have our home by the end of November.
