what a day (and it’s only noon!)
November 23, 2009So the day started innocently enough. An aura of sadness settled in as we faced our first morning without Marco snuggling up with sleepy humans. I ate breakfast, did two hours of work on a design document that was due this morning (yea me). Then, I got dressed to go to the gym and all hell broke loose.
I took Ocho for a walk and ended up loosing my house key (and gym pass) because Ocho ate a hole through my pocket last week (thanks, pup). So really, it was my fault for forgetting about the hole, but jeez, can’t a girl catch a break.
I retraced my steps and never found the key. Enter the rock. Yep, I smashed the window and was able to get in. Sidebar: it’s alarming how easy it was to break into my house. So off to the gym where I had to ask for a new keyring pass, and $5 later they supplied it. However, I FORGOT TO PICK IT UP when I left the gym, so I’ve got to go back in a little while to pick it up. Ugh.
While on the treadmill, a client, whose project budget dissolved a few weeks ago called to tell me she has budget again and the project is back on. Great, except I have two other projects in the hopper as a solution to loosing her project. But, not a bad problem to have, I know, and I already have solutions forming.
Got home, called a contractor friend who is coming to look at the window tonight, and cleaned up the glass. As I cleaned up the glass, I noticed what a wreck the house is and called to see if the cleaning service could come today (crazy to think they could get me in Thanksgiving week, but thought I’d try). They said they could come at 1:30, and they showed up at 11:45. Great. The problem with the timing is that my sheets were in the washer, so I’ve got to make the bed later. Rats.
But, in the end, I’ve got two new projects coming in so I can’t complain. Goal today is to get all my paperwork organized so I can attack these new projects with grace and effectiveness!
