Forget it

Friday, August 11, 2023

Ever wake up and know, just know, in the pit of your gut that it would be in your best interest to stay in bed all day?

I wish I would’ve listened to that little voice because today was just not awesome. The day started off with a certainty that my kiddo is indeed sick. She’s headed to urgent care, even though she claims she’ll “be fine.” Yeah, with Amoxicillin she will. However, even with being warm, not being able to breathe, and general feeling of yuck, she insists on going to school because she’s afraid to get behind already on day three. Sigh.

Then work. Generally, I’m alone in the office on Fridays. Today felt even more eerily quiet. Not that I’m complaining. Also having the A/C is quite nice, especially in this wretched heat. I did have a few video meetings, which lead to me scheduling a crap ton of more meetings. We’re approaching the time of year when we start. planning for the next year. No wonder I never seem to know what month it is. Then projects that were approved get changed at the last minute, and work piles on top of work. Sometimes I feel like I’m drowning. The weird thing is, I know if I didn’t have enough, I’d feel even worse. There really is no winning.

Can we just forget this day ever happened?
