Sigh

Thankfully, today has been mostly peaceful, if tedious.

In spite of that, I'm exhausted.

And craving chocolate.

And trying to remind myself that I don't "need" chocolate. (see my post on self-care from earlier this week.) I think there might be banana chocolate muffins in the staff kitchen. I should check on that. That would be a good compromise.

I'm also incessantly thirsty.

I'm on my fourth bottle of water for the day, and will likely refill at least once more before the day ends.

The workday ends in an hour. I'm so glad for that.

Then about an hour, maybe an hour and a half on public transit to get home.

But there should be a dinner of honey-garlic pork roast, potatoes, and broccoli waiting for me when I get there, courtesy of my recently returned roommate, who has not yet returned to work.

And a quiet evening. I need a quiet evening.

Maybe a long bath.

Maybe just curling up like I did last night with a book, my laptop, my journal, and some snacks and a magazine.

Sigh.

I'm almost done.

And I'm glad for that.
