Winding up
Good morning. I think … not too sure. It’s me, but we’re feeling a sense of dread. We’ve got 3 staffings in a row that we don’t feel prepared for. They are Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday … and we should have one on Friday. I’ve never had a week like this. We’re having feelings like we don’t want to be around, just to avoid the situation, but some of them we’ve already rescheduled. I don’t think I could live through that again. At least one of them we’re past the normal deadline. We’re in trouble with getting enough time to prepare and we don’t have goals set up and in at least the case of two of them we won’t have supporting staff.I’ve thought of what today was going to be like for the last couple of days off and it lead to feelings of dread so much we weren’t able to take care of our regular blogging. By yesterday we were just sitting in front of the TV like in learned helplessness. I’ve got about 20 minutes now until our shower, and then shower … and then everything will be like moving toward the center of this terrible situation.
Hmm, just talked to Rich. We’ve about burnt out our brain. He asked if we were going to have the English muffin we asked for. We thought we better appreciated, but didn’t know how to make toast in the toaster oven. That’s his little beast. I’ve never used it. And, then he said that we needed to take it out in 10 minutes. That about floored us. How are we ever going to know when 5 minutes is.
Pshwoo. Got through that … turns out there IS a timer on our iPod. It was easy to set. Rich helped us take it out and peanut butter it. He was worried that it wasn’t crisp enough, but we didn’t think we could wait longer. It was good the way it was because the bottoms were crisp. We didn’t get the multi-grained, but Rich said they didn’t have it … so we might have to go to multi-grained toast. He said we could put on jelly too, but the protein was important to us.
I think I can do it the next time, but it might be hard. Rich is going on his fishing trip this week though … he’s going to be gone 5 days – Wednesday through Friday. I don’t know what I’m going to do without him, but I know that I’ve done it before and we’re going to need doing that again. But, the week is pretty tough. Maybe we should take our shower now though.
There done that … took care of a few extra things plus doing the medicines and packing of the bag. It’s about 25 after 6 now. Not much time. I guess one way to look at these meetings this week is at least that many more down. Listening to my nice quiet Norah Jones. *Sigh* Need to remember my electronic stuff … hmm, and we forgot a towel … shoot … one more thing to fit in that bag … better get that now.
Hmm, got dressed and pulled a few more things together … Yeeks better have a ponytail today … needed the scrungy for the pool. AND, because it makes my boss happy. That would help today. She’s going to find out we’re having so many staffings … She’s going to have a small fit. It’s 6:33 am now, but have almost an entire half hour left. Feeling warm … so we opened up the window more. Rich has this thing about it being closed when we’re naked. Hmpf! I’m pretty sure I have a Godiva gene.
Hmm, just really listened to one of Norah’s songs from the “Not too late” collection called “Sinkin’ Soon.” It was pretty snazzy
… Wow! Terrific.
