Likely Quieter Today

Work is out of control busy in the last several working days leading up to next weekend's conference, and I'm feeling the pressure.

I'll be working Monday, when everyone else is off.  They'll give me lieu time for however many hours I work, which is a nice trade.

But it's crazy busy, and I'm not likely going to have time to write here much on the working days. 

Over the weekend, if I have time, I'll try to schedule some posts to go live during the week, and then during the conference.  We'll see.

In the meantime, I'm grateful that I got a little bit of sleep last night.  It wasn't much, but it was slightly better than it has been.

And with that, I'm off to start tackling the very long list of things left to do.

Daily 5 - Day 231

Today's Daily 5:

1. An apologetic enmax employee on the phone - still didn't resolve the issues that have been going on for nine months, but at least she felt bad for how they had been handling the situation and was polite to me instead of rude like several of their employees have been.
2. Health treatment tonight (hoping it helps me sleep tonight too)
3. Chocolate
4. Laughing at a bad joke this morning.  (What do you call eight rabbits walking backwards in a row?  A receding hareline!)
5. Tray baked pork chops and roasted vegetables with apple for dinner tonight at Mom and Dad's

Morning Mood

With so little sleep, my already, less than a morning person nature is really getting a chance to shine.

I'm spending a good deal of time each morning reminding myself that those are "inside thoughts, Lisa.  Inside thoughts."

Sometimes it works, sometimes not so much.

I'm so tired that I fell asleep briefly on the bus yesterday afternoon.  That's pretty much unheard of - me sleeping in a public place.

I have a natural health treatment tonight.  Though I doubt he can do a lot about the nightmares, I'm hoping he can help at least a little with the sleep.

In the meantime, I'm working on my morning mood.  It ain't such a pretty thing!

Daily 5 - Day 230

Today's Daily 5:

1. 230 days of making these lists
2. Started the newest book by Sara Miles on the bus ride home tonight
3. Took the bus home again - so nice to have that quiet space.  Tonight I read, and dozed, and listened to an audio book for a while.
4. Updated my budget - love that this is still working so well for me.  And love seeing the results as my debt slowly decreases and my savings slowly grow.
5. Got a phone call from my bank checking on if I had any questions about my accounts - that was great, because I did have a question about my line of credit but definitely haven't been able to find time to call them
6. Productive day at work
7. Got through several "to do's" at home tonight as well
8. Made some tentative Easter weekend plans with my family
9. Have been denying myself chocolate all evening, and promising myself a piece as a treat before bed - totally anticipating that.
10. Think I'll actually be in bed kind of early tonight.  Hopefully that'll give me a better chance at actually getting a bit of rest.
