Going to a conference is exhausting! I was so far off my normal routine this past week. On Wednesday and Thursday I attended the Great Wide Open conference here in Atlanta. Then on Friday I traveled to Athens with two friends to volunteer as a coach at the Rails Girls Athens event. (Likely more on both of those later). Both were really good experiences, but man did I feel worn out by the time Sunday morning rolled around! It didn’t help that it was grey and dreary outside. I managed to get myself together to make the grocery list and meal plan as usual, because it does make such a difference once the work week starts, but I got in some good relaxing time as well. This week is shaping up to be a little crazy again, but I’ve come to embrace Laura Vanderkam’s conclusion that there are no typical weeks.
