If you are dead tired, what do you usually think of doing?

Do you love massage or going to the spa? What about a good movie or a good book? Or like most women, do you love shopping too when you feel stressed? Any weird ideas how you put away stress in your life or how you bring back to life your dead muscles?
My stress started last week as I lost so much sleep preparing for my powerpoint presentations for my seminar for Cebu City. I was very excited with my presentation for the foundation, FFICI, which invited me to be one of their resource persons for their community-based training programs. Since I am a graphic designer too, I usually make my powerpoint presetations perfectly, as in beautifully designed. This means I spend long hours and even days to actually work on my presentations. Something unfortunate happened though when I was almost done with one of my presentations (which I worked for like five hours). When I took a break to eat, my son just decided its time for him to play online and instead of just opening an internet browser, he closed all the open files including my powerpoint which he did not bother saving! I did not know that with MS Office Powerpoint 2007, you still need to configure the settings to auto-save which means that all those time I was working, nothing was saved!
When I found out about it, I immediately felt like crying and so I did. Only, I worked again after crying for some time. This time, I made sure I saved everything. The training was successful and I enjoyed my first exposure with the program. When I went home though, I had to immediately work on my backlogs which made me very tired.
All I can think of right now is a good massage for my aching muscles and indulgent sleep for my tired eyes but I have to wait for two more weeks before I can actually do this as I still need to complete a lot of work in the next days. You’d think I’m taking the best diet pill in the last days because I look haggard and losing weight (I wish!) but the truth is, I’m simply tired.
But just like the message in my Facebook status, I am not complaining. I am dead tired yes, but happy. Not many people are given the opportunities I am being blessed right now. Time for play will come soon, till then, there’s work to be done. Gotta go!
