new year funk

it's the new year and i disappeared from blog world for a week longer than i anticipated. i think of how i felt at this time last year...my mind was teeming with goals and plans. and this year...well, i feel blah. i haven't been in the greatest mood and i've been getting overly frustrated with small things.

some words to better describe this "mood":
anxious
overwhelmed
pessimistic
annoyed

i'm feeling unappreciated & taken advantage of, to a certain extent (not by husband though - he's been supportive & positive & is really doing a lot to help me out with stuff).

so is it just me? maybe i am in a funk. i'm working on narrowing down specifically what the source of the problem is and wading through all of the symptoms is a slow process. this year will bring forth a lot of changes and the unknown...

on a positive note, hubby & i have started a workout program in the mornings together (at 5am!!) while the workouts are HARD, i've actually enjoyed the additional time in the morning to myself. my typical morning is workout from 5-5:45ish, clean up & make coffee (until 6:40ish), then work on homework until it's time to go to work. being productive in the morning is pretty awesome. the downside is that i can barely keep my eyes open after 9pm.

hope everyone's year started off well! i'll be catching up on your blogs in the next few days...
