All She Wants to Do is ... Rest?

I like music, and I love that song. I sit here typing, bopping my head to the song singing "all she wants to do is dance!" I am 28, and I think I probably went back to work too quickly after my surgery. But the law waits for no man (or woman as the case may be). So I find myself wishing that I could just rest. And it's kinda sad, you know? I'm 28. It's Saturday. I'm a lawyer (btw, that is still REALLY FREAKING COOL to me to say, and I still can't believe it most of the time). I should be hanging out with friends, or heading to San Diego or hanging out in Vegas. Instead, I've spoken with a client, gone to my office, left a message for another client, laughed at a letter from opposing counsel (you would have too), conferenced with co-counsel, mapped out directions for a meeting with a witness, and prepared for a meeting with a witness this afternoon. I would have been quite content to watch bad reality tv (is there any other kind?), bought some new lounging shorts, and sipped ice water. Am I old or just overworked? Is it worth it? It has to be, right?
