Some days I feel like the little ball in a pinball machine. one minute moving with lightening speed towards accomplishing a goal, and the "ping" shot off track by an unseen paddle.
I slept in until 10:30 this morning, hoping that the extra sleep would give me a bit more energy today. I quietly left John snoring away, and headed downstairs for coffee, only to be confronted with a kitchen that needed disaster relief funding! Coffee was needed to face the mess.
A quick trip to the laptop, confirmed no one was up for a challenge day, so it was up to me to get myself going.
PING! photo printing sale at photolab. 168 prints later......
I have spent 2 days organizing my gift stockpile. it is time to get this wrapped. I have completed John, Judy and Greg, and they have been put under the tree. its the rest of my friends/family that needs wrapping. I am well into it when
PING! I am starving. Time to wrestle some leftovers out of the fridge, so I empty the dishwasher while I wait for the microwave. Sitting down to watch a tv episode was probably a mistake because
PING! John finally wakes up. It's 3:30 and he is in a silly conversation mood!!!! So I shut off the background noise and tried to focus on his conversation but.... thankfully, Judy and him start talking about?? and I am left to continue my wrapping.
PING! It's now suppertime. Anne has come and reclaimed the table I borrowed a year ago, and Pat has dropped off a bunch of craft items. Judy scarfs down some supper and runs out the door to Reserve weekend training and...
PING! John wants us to watch an episode of Hawaii 5-0. I start back to my task as he packs up to go to work when I knock over a pile of parcels over but I start making some headway into the piles when
PING! Charlotte finally reaches me on the laptop, for some reason my phone isn't working. So I fool with it and rebooting takes time. We make pick up arrangements for the morning.
Slightly off track but still hopeful, I begin stuffing photos in Christmas cards, knowing I want this job done.
PING! My mom calls (guess I fixed it) to tell me they finished her sunroom AND her new dining room set has arrived. I straighten the kitchen while we are talking.
TILT! It is 11pm and I have not packed for the crop in the morning. Guess it will be an early alarm setting and job in the morning.
Good night from my life on John Street.
