Plugging Along
May. 10th, 2007 06:06 amI'm still digging out from under the pile of work that accumulated while I spent so much time out of the office last week and Monday, plus several significant meetings' worth of minutes to transcribe and publish. And I have to dig fast because on Monday I start jury duty!
There seems to be too much to do right now, and not enough quiet space to enjoy my RDA of solitude, my daughter, or my partners. I haven't been training consistently, and I need to get back on track with that -- but I also want to call my doctor about the recurring twinges in my knees.
And then there's the waiting: waiting for word from the apartment complex where I want to move; waiting for news on either of two positions opening up at work for me to apply; waiting for word on job offers my friends are waiting for; waiting for the Ex's negotiations with lenders to be resolved so he can buy out my share of the house.
Then there are friends who are having challenging times: with ongoing/intensifying family issues, with classes, with relationships that are ending, with finances, with being hit by cars (no serious damage done, thank God!).
I have to buy groceries.
I have to actually finish doing the dishes.
One foot in front of the other. Repeat as necessary.
Also remember:
Get hugs from daughter and partners. Give hugs to daughter and partners.
Email friends to maintain mutual support web.
Watch more Babylon-5.
Look at ring.
