Monday is Funday
Typical of a Monday there was a long list of things to do but the entire morning got derailed before it started. The good news is I was able to get the dogs out early and take a nice walk through City Park, something that always at least sets a good tone for the rest of the day. I ran into a woman who last year was in such distress over her job she lost and (I swear it was a completely different woman) she just celebrated a milestone birthday and now wants to buy a second home in the Southwest. My, how things change.
Tin’s fall break continued today so we let him sleep in but then he got up feeling peaked and he wanted to be held. Between you, me and the doorpost, getting a two and a half year old to want to be held is like asking for the sun not to shine in the morning so despite the fact that these moments are about him being sick, I took advantage and clung to his little body until he fell back asleep, loving every minute of it.
Then the To Do list started unraveling when I arrived at my desk – all of the items I had set aside to do this morning were then postponed as the morning took on a life of its own and enlarged and diverted the to do list to other areas.
