Friday Morning
Jan. 6th, 2006 05:45 amI say again: blech!
I still haven't fully recovered from yesterday's stresses. At least I'll be spending today in the offsite with my team -- which will be a relatively low-demand situation -- instead of being at the office where I would be expected to respond to the requests of anyone who had a need.
I want two hours more sleep, a bathroom that doesn't have soaking wet towels all over the floor, and my daughter to cuddle. (It's good that my parents had already been planning to pick her up from school and keep her over night yesterday -- but I miss her.)
Aside from the wet towels on the bathroom floor, my house is still in great shape after last week's cleaning efforts, something that makes me feel very good. The floors are still uncluttered; the Diet Coke cans have all been crushed and put into the recycling bag as I use them; and the dishes are washed. There are no clothes on the floor of the bedroom (although I didn't get laundry done last night as I had hoped).
The more I think about yesterday, the more it makes me want to push forward on my spiritual direction practice. I've been so absorbed in my housework these last couple of weeks, nothing else in the personal realm was getting attention. This weekend, with my house in order, I will work more on my visioning and my website.
I need to get myself into a situation where I am not spending 40 hours a week (plus or minus a few, depending on load) at that office.
