I've been busy today. I'm done taking lumps for my screw up, which wasn't as painful as I feared. Embarrassing? You bet. Humbling? Oh, no doubt about it. But not really painful.
Then I asked my boss if the lay-off rumors were true. He said they weren't. Just to make sure, I asked someone who has direct, daily client contact, and she said they weren't true either.
Then I called to check up on my mom. She still sounds weak as a kitten, but she's happy to be home, so that's good.
This stress (along with a nice, 35-minute cardio workout and a Xanax) have left me feeling pretty drained. I just can't wait to get home and flip back and forth between American Idol (go, Adam!) and the baseball game (go, Cubs!).
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

I'm a little nervous about Kris being in the bottom this week. He & Adam are my favorite guys.
ReplyDeleteTake it easy and try to relax.
You are under a lot of stress. Rumors....your mom....the job...everything in between.
ReplyDeleteRest as much as possible and try to relax. Easy for me to say, huh?
