on top of the world (?)
Today, in most respects, was a glorious day. It was glorious in that I have gotten A LOT done. And these days, that can be a challenge due to my failing concentration and distractability. Chalk it up to old age - recall I had a birthday last month? Whatev.
Today was great, though. I was attending meeting after meeting, making deals, accomplishing tasks, drafting memos, answering email, managing finances, reconciling the feelings of others, being a good listener, facilitating consultation, making decisions, delegating tasks, and providing encouragement and praise.
Wow. I felt like a real wheeler and dealer. Or at least a good manager. For a change.
And then - it dawned on me. I haven't eaten anything all day!
What's up with that? Am I just better on an empty tank? I recall my amazing focus and productivity during the Fast back in March. Common theme? No food.
So, perhaps I ought to give this whole m.o. a bit more thought. How far can I get on empty? Or close to empty?
Or... was it just that we hit close to 70 degrees today and I got to bask in the sun for 10 minutes or so while walking to my car this morning?
Aaaaaahhhh.

i'm going to vote that it was the sun, Delara. i think that can give a person a ton of energy. although for me it just makes me want to be out and about doing things outside of work. but, then again, i don't have windows.
congrats on the productivity! feels good, huh?
