Wow. 6:38am. I’m lucky I got up – I didn’t go to bed until about 1:20am this morning. 5 hours of sleep and the day looks to be long on scheduling. There are 9 meetings today, most of them back to back… and they walk all over my lunch hour. It’s going to be rough, keep me in your thoughts.
The subject of taking better care of yourself has come up again recently. Jennifer blogged about having headaches and the need to take better care of herself. I too need to do the same. I’ve said it countless times before (but you’ll have to rely on memory since I wiped all of that out in the old blog) – I need to slow down, stop working so much and try to keep my mind off of work all the time.
The lights are up, but we still need more. All in all, the display looks much more balanced this year than years past. I also like the auto-timer we bought, since turning the lights on or off always seemed to be a chore.
Why is it that the littlest of chores seem to be the most painful?
Anyway, we’re gonna be out hitting the malls again today. Too much to do, too little time. Oh, and BunBun has a nasty-ass cold. Poor little guy. We’re doing what we can and he’s being a good sport about it, but I know it frustrates him. At least now that he’s older, he deals with it well.
So what do you do with a day off when the system still manages to go down?
Well, you spend most of the day on the phone, honestly. That gets old. We had the day planned to spend running around town knocking out personal business that has been put aside for far too long. It was little things like – setting up bank accounts, scoping out schools for BunBun, stuff like that. But still, somehow… we end up on the phone together.
