Balancing Act

Life became very unbalanced this week & by Wednesday I knew exactly how the Energizer Bunny feels like when his batteries are flat. Work is no busier than normal, just everything I needed to do this week was unnecessarily complicated, involved & a pain in the you-know-whatsie! If I mention those 2 frightening words 'Software Issues', you'll get the picture. The atrocious weather here also turned MOTH into His Royal Grumpiness. As usual he's made too many promises to clients about project finish dates & now they are baying for his blood. The shower screens are being installed early Monday morning & he hasn't anywhere near completed prep. work the Installers have told him needs to be done. I get the feeling this weekend will be full of 'little' challenges - wish me luck!

  2. Must be something in the air I think - work / life / project issues.... Good luck. You might need one of those signs: "Keep Calm and Carry On"...

  7. Taking Wednesdays off is the only way I can get some balance. Not great for the wallet, but terrific for the me time. Hope you have a non-frenetic weekend!

  8. Hi Millie,

    Been too long since I left a comment. Sorry 'bout that but the pie slices picture is true for me too. I am trying to find balance but it's so hard...I would just like to feel like I'm coping a bit better and not be weighed under with things on the to-do list that are JUST NOT getting done. I wish you luck this weekend and hope it goes as smoothly as possible!! Will try to comment again soon and not leave it so long...
    Take care

  13. Hopefully the weekend will bring at least some time for rest and relaxation, Millie. I agree with everyone else about the chocolate cake, by the way...

    Yes, I too see cheesecake - I am so glad the Cheesecake Factory is 90 miles away or I would be 90 pounds heavier.
