Life’s not a spectator sport, but I’m not even watching

“Life’s not a spectator sport. If watchin’ is all you’re gonna do, then you’re gonna watch your life go by without ya.” – The Hunchback of Notre Dam, Victor Hugo.

And that is exactly what I’m feeling nowadays, unfortunately – I’m watching my life go by, and actually, it’s going by too fast, I am not even watching!

Mainly it’s because I have been so busy at work, working CRAZY hours along with dealing with deadlines, pressure and worst of all dealing with crap from clients. I spend al my time at work that it is impossible to do anything on weekdays – and that includes basic things like having a decent lunch at typical lunch hours, or drinking my tea which the office boy brings right to my desk, but I cannot spare a minute to gulp it down, to other things like being able to answer a personal phone call, having a moment to look at myself in the mirror and other things which I know consider a luxury: catching up with a friend over coffee, watching a movie, reading a magazine, getting a manicure/pedicure,  or trying to go to a doctor’s appointment which I’ve been pushing back for the last 3 weeks!

What’s worse, living this military camp life 5 days a week, come the weekend and I just want to sleep and do nothing as I am totally drained of physical and mental energy! I’ve been doing almost nothing for the past 4 weekends because I just want to stay at home all day and relax. I’m hating this laziness, but I can’t help it; my body – brain included – really needs to shut down and rest and simply not interact with anyone, and the weekends seem to be the only time to do so.

I really need to do something about all of this; I do not even remeber living the past 2-3 months of my life :(
