So after good advice from Doc John in his Tuesday and hearing from members here, I decided to swing my schedule so I'm not putting in 60+ hours every week. My career is on the Vice PResident, high paying, high stakes route, so I understand the importance of having to work over time frequently, but I still have to find balance.

So I skipped an event last night, just because I really needed the break, before the event we have tonight too. Well darn it all to heck, I woke up to a debilitating bout of vertigo. Even when it passes I'm going to have to get an Uber ride to work. I just can't trust that I can drive.

I have to make it in this afternoon, but I let my co-workers know that I would be out this morning. I guess the one plus side of working 60+ hours a week is that when you need a morning off, as long as your morning schedule is open, no one really blinks. But I feel like such a loser having to take time off. I knew this was going to happen...the signs of vertigo have been coming on all week. Oh well.

I wonder when I will feel normal again and not struggle like this every day. I really don't know how long I can truly function like this.
