Today was a crazy and frustrating day at work.  I walked in and the phones were going crazy - seems there was announcement put out and a link to our email system that was changed - a lot of people in the cleanrooms could not get to the new link, a few people did not have their email databases properly setup for that kind of email.  It quieted down just after 6am and then around 8am it went crazy again.  I had to remote into a ton of computers to get them to work and the phone calls kept coming.  On top of that there was this laptop with a weird problem that no one at the helpdesk - me included could figure out - yet the user had complained to our upper management which made it a priority.

I tried all kinds of things while fielding crazy email calls.  I ended up having to call the user back and say come and get it and bring it back the next morning for me to work on the laptop again.  I had some ideas of how to figure out the problem which by then I had determined was a registry problem.

The pain was hard to get through and I came home and tried to relax as much as I could.  We had dinner and then after dinner the guys played on their guitars while I listened.  My son's fingers do not have calouses on them yet and so they were a bit soar but it was sure fun listening to them.  I enjoy having the music in the house and listening to them laugh.  Looking forward to movie night tomorrow and the weekend where hopefully I can get a handle on this pain.  I know I have to learn to live with it but still hoping I can find a way to ease it a bit.

Waiting....

I feel like I am just stuck waiting ... waiting to figure out the next part of our lives.  We just have to keep waiting for answers, waiting for people to get in the office, waiting for this or that.  It is scary and hard since we cannot even figure out what our lives will be in a month and we don't know the best answers or what should we do.  Do we pack up and move far away or do we stay and gamble on more than a part time job.  Do we hang on here and plan or will we end up being broke and homeless.

Balance

I have been struggling with balancing my life.  I am one of those people who is often an all or very little person.  When I get tired or depressed or my body is hurting, I struggle to do even the basics.  The house gets messy quickly, everything gets backlogged and so forth. But then I get energy back or feel better and suddenly I have a really good day of cleaning and I am able to keep up for a few days or weeks and then I slide back.  I am trying to find the balance - today I am soar because yesterday I cleaned house for 8+ hours - so today I am taking it easier and picking up and keeping things clean but not taking on huge projects. Although I took care of 2 annoying things.   The Master Bath Toilet whistled loudly every time you flushed it so I took care of that and our alarm was telling us the keypad had low batteries so I took care of that.  Let's hope I can keep up with things for a bit.

  This year I am starting to have to deal with some chaos.  I came back from the Priestess Retreat and found my husband is very sick and they don't know exactly what it is.  So here is where I am with my seeds of intent...   1.  Continue to work on my health - kind of have slipped but I am working on my diabetes. 2.  Start balancing my case load so it is not overwhelming - I have figured it out to be much better for me and allow me to work more while stressing less. 3.  Continue to follow the path the Goddess has put in front of me especially when it comes to being a therapist - with work I am doing a good job on this - I am taking on what is put in my path 4.  Continue to process letting go of my daughter - still trying to let go - making lots of progress. 5.  Be good to myself - trying - I am struggling a bit with depression and being overwhelmed. 6.  Focus on organizing my life so it allows me to do what I need to do to be...
