Trabajando un domingo [ESP/ENG]
El deber cumplido me llena de tranquilidad y es mejor opción que procrastinar, que es una de mis debilidades, ahora que lo pienso, no sé porqué me cuesta tanto hacer lo que debo, si se siente tan bien terminar tareas.
Los domingos normalmente son de descanso, pero ayer me distraje, no avancé en casi nada de lo que tenía pendiente y opté por ocuparme de esos asuntos hoy.
Duty fulfilled fills me with peace of mind and is a better option than procrastinating, which is one of my weaknesses, now that I think about it, I don't know why it costs me so much to do what I have to do, if it feels so good to finish tasks.
Sundays are usually for resting, but yesterday I got distracted, I didn't make progress on almost anything I had pending and I chose to take care of those matters today.
Tenía trabajo de la oficina atrasado, porque esta semana laboral que pasó, mi PC se descompuso y estuvo prácticamente tres días en manos del técnico.
Mi jefe es comprensivo y me dijo que no me preocupara, que me pusiera al día la semana siguiente, que comienza mañana lunes; sin embargo, no me sentía tranquila por no estar al día con mis actividades, por lo que preferí adelantar lo máximo posible hoy.
I had backlogged office work, because this past work week, my PC broke down and was practically three days in the hands of the technician.
My boss is understanding and told me not to worry, that I should catch up next week, which starts tomorrow, Monday; however, I did not feel at ease for not being up to date with my activities, so I preferred to get ahead as much as possible today.
Como también debía cumplir algunos deberes del hogar, desayuné y en seguida me dispuse a cumplirlos, no puedo trabajar tranquila si mi entorno no está limpio y en orden, además, tampoco podría con eso en mente.
Coloqué música, entre melodías y cantando fui completando, una a una, las tareas de mi lista hasta terminarlas todas.
Siempre he dicho que siento placer al ver el resultado de mi misión limpieza, lo disfruto mucho y me hace sentir mejor. Las veces que mi corazón ha estado roto, la combinación de música y tareas domésticas, es una de mis maneras de recuperarme.
As I also had to fulfill some home chores, I had breakfast and immediately set out to fulfill them, I can not work calmly if my environment is not clean and in order, besides, I could not with that in mind.
I put on music, between melodies and singing I completed, one by one, the tasks on my list until I finished them all.
I have always said that I take pleasure in seeing the results of my cleaning mission, I enjoy it very much and it makes me feel better. The times when my heart has been broken, the combination of music and housework is one of my ways to recover.
Era ya mediodía, cuando comencé con el informe que debo entregar en mi trabajo, mi esposo se encargó de preparar el almuerzo, así que pude aprovechar ese tiempo.
Almorcé y volví a mi PC, debía hacer varias tablas en Excel para sacar cifras estadísticas de yacimientos y algunos otros datos para soportar mi informe.
Sin darme cuenta, llego la hora de la cena y fui para prepararla, tan rápido como pude. Cenamos y continué instalada en la computadora, sin pausa.
It was already noon, when I started with the report that I have to deliver to my work, my husband was in charge of preparing lunch, so I could take advantage of that time.
I had lunch and went back to my PC, I had to make several tables in Excel to get statistical figures of deposits and some other data to support my report.
Before I knew it, it was time for dinner and I went to prepare it, as fast as I could. We had dinner and I continued to be at the computer, without pause.
Ya estaba saturada de tantos números, dediqué muchas horas continuas a este trabajo y me alegro de haberlo hecho, en la oficina avanzo menos, porque el entorno no es bueno, lo que hice este domingo, me hubiera llevado al menos dos días allá.
Ya casi a la medianoche, finalmente terminé lo que tenía previsto para hoy, pero quedé agotada física y mentalmente.
I was already saturated with so many numbers, I dedicated many continuous hours to this work and I am glad I did it, in the office I make less progress, because the environment is not good, what I did this Sunday, would have taken me at least two days there.
At almost midnight, I finally finished what I had planned for today, but I was physically and mentally exhausted.
Ajá, pero aún me faltaba algo: Escribir en mi blog. Mi hijo me insistió que no lo hiciera para que no me acostara tan tarde, asentí y me fui a la cama, convenciéndome a mí misma de que la salud y el buen descanso son prioridad, pero no lograba conciliar el sueño, sentía que debía completar esta tarea también. Me levanté y comencé a teclear estas líneas, que describen mi día.
Tengo un alto sentido de responsabilidad, por eso he tenido que aprender a comprometerme lo menos posible, porque antes, me excedía y luego ya no tenía tiempo ni de respirar.
Nuestra palabra debe tener valor y para eso, lo dicho, debe ser hecho; además, debe ser confiable y certera.
Aha, but I was still missing something: writing in my blog. My son insisted me not to do it so I wouldn't go to bed so late, I nodded and went to bed, convincing myself that health and good rest are a priority, but I couldn't get to sleep, I felt I had to complete this task too. I got up and started typing these lines, which describe my day.
I have a high sense of responsibility, that's why I have had to learn to compromise as little as possible, because before, I would overdo it and then I didn't even have time to breathe.
Our word must have value and for that, what is said, must be done; moreover, it must be reliable and accurate.
Y ahora sí puedo colocar mi cabeza en la almohada y descansar tranquila, así que con estas palabras me despido por hoy, agradeciendo a Dios por cada día de vida, por mi familia, mi trabajo y todo lo que nos provee.
A ustedes, gracias por haberme acompañado en esta lectura.
And now I can put my head on the pillow and rest easy, so with these words I say goodbye for today, thanking God for each day of life, for my family, my work and all that He provides us.
To you, thank you for joining me in this reading.
Thank you very much

Hello! Thank you for sharing your day. It sounds like you had a very productive and responsible day. I'm glad to hear that you felt calm after completing all your tasks. I think it's very important to prioritize health and rest. Even if you want to write on your blog, choosing to sleep first is a wise decision. A fresh body and mind will help you be more effective when doing your tasks the next day. I also agree with you that our words should be followed by actions. Responsibility and consistency are the keys to success. Keep working hard and be committed to achieving your goals. May you have a good night's rest and wake up with renewed vigor to face tomorrow.
Although I woke up a little tired today, I was very happy to be able to keep up with my work, I was able to assume my tasks today without working under pressure or having to stay in the office overtime. Although I agree with you and my son, health and rest come first, sometimes it's hard for me to choose to sleep when I know I have homework to do. It's a balance that I still struggle to balance.
I appreciate your valuable comment and your company.
Greetings.
¡Gracias! Que tengas una gran semana.
Feliz noche ✨
Muy lindo tu post, valió la pena el esfuerzo realizado, eso es tener vergüenza profesional. Saludos
Valió totalmente la pena. Aunque el atraso en mis tareas se debió a causas ajenas a mi voluntad, no tolero sentir que no entrego algo a tiempo. Gracias por tus palabras.
