That is exactly how my day went yesterday. I was busy from the get-go with scheduling meetings and then taking the monitor to 'that person' and then the board meeting.... and add in numerous texts and phone calls - and even a bundt cake delivery from my one boss - and a granddaughter/great-granddaughter visit late afternoon........ dinner after work and the youngest 'doing this thing'... sigh.... I slept good last night because I was just exhausted from the day. Surely it isn't old age!! And then as I signed off the work computer I noticed an email of someone I had forgotten to include in the board meeting. Ooops.
And then we have today..... it will be busy as I will need to finish up everything before going on vacation tomorrow. I am actually getting excited about getting away and not working for a few days. I'm just mentally stressed out and exhausted, I think. I definitely need a break. And after this next week - I have a few days off in September for Jailbreak Getaway.
But the day yesterday did start off good in that my meeting with my boss on the mid-year reviews - she once again gave me 'exceeds expectations' and that I qualify for a lateral move.... although we both know I don't want to move to another position.... I want to stay right where I am. I'm too (lazy) old to learn new things. Naw, it's just I just plain don't want to learn new things.
I did my workout this morning but my trainer was somewhat distracted with his own personal things going on... which was disappointing as it was to be about me that half hour. But I did get a good workout in - albeit that we did the same exercises I did on Tuesday. And I told him so. But he had created a new sheet to record my things on and thought he had reversed what we did before. So we both get a week 'off' the 30 minutes of exercise and I don't see him again until a week from Tuesday. Hubby went with me today and walked the treadmill and rode the bike while I did my workout.
I love that my granddaughters love to create things as I get to be the recipient of them! Well, sometimes. I got a really nice bag from my granddaughter yesterday that she knitted and sewed together. Hubby thinks I should use it as a cosmetic bag - but it would get all snagged if I did... and I don't wear cosmetics that much to where I use a bag... but she said she was thinking of my crochet hooks - and I think that is what I will use it for. Besides, when I carry my tote bag that she made for me, I can show it off when I take it out to pull out a hook. After all... I am a 'hooker'. tee hee. You've seen the funny things on facebook where people say "my husband tells me I'm old because I 'crochet'... saying it in a really old voice... so I looked it up and crochet means 'to hook', so I'm a 'hooker'. LOL Cracks me up every time.
Psalm 46:1 (NKJV): "..... God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."
It's always good to have that reminder that whenever we are struggling and trying to push through on things, that if we give it to God, surrender that issue or trouble to Him, He truly is our refuge and our strength. He will always help, if we only surrender it and ask Him. Today is going to be one of those days that I do ask for His help I have so much to get done today. I'm sure you do as well - why not take a moment and just ask Him to help you through today. To give you clarity of mind and give you the strength to accomplish any task that comes before you. He will, you know.
7 minutes to signing on for work so guess I need to get off and get moving today. Hubby is already panicking that he needs to pack today. He is still doing his Bible study in the morning (yay!! I get free time!!) and will only have a few hours before we leave... so I look at him and say "you can pack tomorrow - it's not a big deal." I don't plan to pack until tomorrow.... and I have errands to run in the morning too! He is such a stresser that he stresses me! LOL
Hope that you have a blessed day - I gotta get busy!
Blessings!
