Moronacity

I didn’t go.

“Huh-whuh!?” you ask? Well, I made it to Marquette on Friday. Come Saturday, I didn’t want to race. I just wanted to relax and hang out with my friend, Sandee, so that’s what I did. We went to her fiancee’s camp toward Big Bay on Saturday for a giant turkey dinner. Trust me, the bird wasn’t stuffed, but everyone else was.

I kind of wish I would’ve shown up to the race. It’s always nice to see everyone, but I needed this for myself. With school, work, and my busy race schedule, I haven’t really had a weekend to myself since April.

Unfortunately, this perceived whirlwind means that my racing season ended last week. I didn’t go to the Championship Race, and that’s OK. This ends Di’s 2008 racing season.

I have finally admitted to myself that I feel stretched thin. It seems like everyday of my life has a deadline. Either something needs to be done or I need to be somewhere. This weekend, I decided to take some time for myself. It really wasn’t enough, but it’s time to sit down and take a cold, hard look at my current lifestyle and how I need to change it so I can be happy and healthy.
