Maybe I should give up planning my day.
I barely looked at the hosue outside this little closet-office yesterday. What I needed to do in terms of planning took way,way longer than I anticipated. I took a break for lunch, but other than that, I was in here for almost 11 hours straight.
The dogs were an emotional mess yesterday. I guess they can't count, but they still knew the number of people at home was just so very wrong. The whining and postures of "I'm so pathetic, HELP ME FEEL BETTER" actually got pretty old. To be fair, their entire lives, there have usually been four of us at home, and for most of their lives, DH worked from home, too. The alerting has escalated, too. If a gnat flies past the front door... they sound "all alarms."
DH didn't even get to call me until 10? 10:30 last night. I knew he was stuck in a work thing, so I'd gone to sleep and left the ringer on. After five minutes, he actually said, I hope that I woke you up and that you can get back to sleep quickly.
Today is a light schedule - six classes, but they will be "easy" to teach - this set of kids are enthusiastic, always willing to try anything, and almost always ready for class. BUT... in two days, I've had three schedule change requests from parents (because of school starting and only now getting information). This is how it's been in the past. I was hoping it would be better this wyear, but we'll see.
I have church book club (which I really need to go to) and a friend is having a Zoom meeting today. That's not mandatory, of course, but I think she's making some big changes in her life and I want to show up so she knows I wish her well.
The weather is miserable outside - I walked the dogs at 5:30, it was 72, feels like 76 (which sounds lovely) but the humidity is 97%.
And my house still needs decluttering, floors swept, even a couple mopped 😱, bathrooms wiped down. At least there is no tkd or church tonight.
Thank you for listening. 😉 I know it will be fine, and what needs to get done will get done. It just feels a bit chaotic right now.
Have a great day.
