- Target your second busiest work season. Your team will love you.
- Incidentally, your team will call you nuts and/or crazy with brilliant (but not for polite company) adjectives preceding. You will get used to this after a few
daysweeks. - Drive over random things, preferably one each week. Fiberglass insulation at 30 degrees? Piece of cake. Two nails in the tire at 30 degrees? How else would you have discovered your gauge reads down to 3 psi? It's fun to work on your car, and weren't you just mentioning something about tires?
- Increase your intake of caffeine by one-third. It gets tiring [pun #3] drinking only fizzy water and juice. Why not supplement your espresso with two more cups of daily tea? You will enjoy the extra hours stretched into your day so you can...
- Start ambitious knitting projects. That pattern that you've been afraid to try? Do it now. Use three colors and really small needles. It will be such an accomplishment.
- Speaking of accomplishments [#5], sign up for a LOT of races. You're already at the gym because you need some outlet for stress [#1] and since you're not sleeping anyway [#4] and stepped up your workouts to two-a-days on three days of the week, you'll be just fine. Trust me. The soreness will go away in about two weeks.
- Buy a TEN dollar half-gallon of heavy whipping cream instead of milk. While it was an accident, you'll enjoy the puzzle of trying to create various recipes to use the cream so that it's a) not wasted and b) you don't gain 10 pounds.
- Don't check your receipts while you are in the store. Wait until you are home and it's raining before you discover [#7]. Bonus points if you also get charged for your single artisan cheese twice.
- Embrace the wardrobe malfunction. Twice.
- Carry protein bars, preferably a variety so if you have to eat one for breakfast, lunch and dinner [#1], you will have variety. Luna, the spice of life.
Laugh a lot. You've got a good story.
