Embracing the muchness

It has been a long, busy past week and weekend and I don't know that I'm necessarily ready to head back into work tomorrow...  Yesterday there was an event at work and I had to work approximately 6 hours for "free."  I can always attempt to flex the time out of this upcoming week but there is quite a bit going on this week so I don't know that it's going to happen...  If nothing else, I do have to take a lunch everyday again this upcoming week because of the doggy...

I took my dog back to the vet to have the stitches removed yesterday and his wound didn't heal as fully as they would've liked so they ended up putting in a few medical staples.  They also have him back on another round of antibiotics in case he's still fighting off some sort of weird infection (even though he was already on three different antibiotics...).  He has to take this antibiotic twice a day - once at lunch time and once before bed so that means I have to come home in order to give it to him.  I do feel bad because he still has to wear the "cone of shame" for another two weeks and then I'll take him back to the vet to have the staples removed.  At that point, hopefully everything will have healed the way that they would like or they said we will have to look into different treatment options.  Yippee.

I've had a song running through my head all week and I think someone is trying to tell me something from the lyrics...  One of the lines from the chorus says, "I want to live not just survive..."  This is a concept I have talked about before but I haven't fully embraced it yet for some reason.  There are some aspects of my life that I feel I do pretty well at living but in other aspects, not so much - I fell as if in too many areas of my life I am only surviving and it weighs on me.  I don't like feeling as if I restrict myself and I know that I'm the only one who can change that - I guess I don't know how to change it in certain areas...

It may be a little risky to really be me in certain areas of my life (one of those areas being work since I do work in a "professional" workplace) but some risk could be worth it, right?  For whatever reason, I have once again stopped making the effort in making sure I am wearing something that is "muchness worthy" each and every single day and I need to remedy that.  Each day as I'm getting ready for work, I need to make a conscious effort to add some muchness to my outfit.  Making an effort in this one area will hopefully make me aware to bring muchness to other aspects of my life as well.  I think by starting to do this again it will help me feel as if I'm not merely surviving.

Well, my dear readers, I know this isn't a very long post but I've given myself some things to think about and I should probably think about heading to bed before too much longer.  Before I head to bed, I will also take the opportunity to plan my outfit for tomorrow and make sure that I have some sort of muchness added to what I'm wearing to work.  I hope that each and every one of you embrace your muchness and let your freak flags fly!  =)
