A Sample of My Day

The pressure cooker is heating. As we are getting closer and closer to our lives regaining some form of normality, the pressure and stress is increasing. I guess the old saying of, “it has to get worse before it gets better” is true. We are running full out between work being insanely busy and the tasks at home increasing by the day. I am literally counting down the hours until our 90 day work-out is complete and the book manuscript is finished. Once that is behind us we have to get through some work-related events, and then I’m pretty sure we will get our lives back.

Last night was a typical Thursday. We rushed home to do our one hour work-out. We hurried through dinner and then I wash all the dishes, got dressed and toke off to my dance class. I couldn’t stop yawning during the class (but I still think that’s because country music bores the tar out of me.) I had YogaDudes order to make, pack, and ship, mail to open, bills to pay. I did, however, carve out five minutes to sit down and make a long list of all the things I needed to get done today. I was so proud of myself that I remembered to bring the list with me and I started my day by crossing things off the list one by one.

Around 9:30 this morning the list disappeared. It was on my desk for 2.5 hours and then it suddenly vanished. I spent another 5 minutes ripping my office apart. How could I lose the list when I never left my office? I am willing to bet that I packed it inside of a box that we shipped. One of my personal tasks this morning was to return an item that Karlo bought (yes, I have to do his dirty work too). So I filled out the paperwork, packed the box, and gave it to Karlo to ship. My list has GOT to be in that box. So much for all the other things I was supposed to do today. Maybe the guy that's getting the box will finish my To Do list for me!
