When out of nowhere...
Okay- so I messed up my 30 days in a row, but to be honest I had a good excuse.
Much to my horror, last Monday my boss was suddenly laid off which has made me an entire department of...one.
That's right- I am now my own department and my work load has tripled. Needless to say, I've been running on all engines trying to get a grip on the situation. It is going to take me a while to learn this new juggling routine until I have it all down to a science.
So anyway- that's why I haven't been writing lately. But I feel like I'm at least *starting* to get a grip on things, so here I am making a go of it.
Thanksgiving was a blast- Clo-Clo made an amazing turkey that was covered in bacon (why shouldn't it be?) and I made my most-favorite green bean casserole and whipped yams. They were AMAZING if I do say so myself. It was a wonderful evening with friends and wine and good times all around.
Honestly for the last few days I've been using the majority of my energy trying to get a grip. This change at work has seriously altered my day-to-day routine. I depend on my day-to-day routine because it leaves my mind clear to work on music while I'm doing everything else by rote. Now I actually need to concentrate on what I'm doing, which is surprisingly draining. When I get home at the end of the day, I'm exhausted. It's left very little left over to focus on the things I actually want to focus on.
That's why I'm glad for days like today- I'm in the office and getting things done (she says while she's blogging) but there is so little incoming traffic that I'm able to take a moment and get my bearings back. This morning I was able to reorganize my desk drawers, make my new space my own, and throw away a lot of stuff. All good. I'm feeling a bit more in control now.
And thank God for my amazing co-workers who have all offered to pitch in and help me out with the task of re-organizing. *Sigh*
