1) I'm supposed to have two 6-page brochures and a powerpoint presentation written (and designed) for my client by next Tuesday. I don't have enough guidance or information to do this. The date is not moving.
2) Connie has to have a tooth pulled and it's scheduled for Friday. I'm taking the day as vacation but I know I'll have to work through it (see #1). Anesthesia is dangerous for cats. Not as dangerous as the risk of infection from the tooth, but still. She had bloodwork in late September and the results clear her for surgery, but I worry. She's 9 years old, the equivalent of about 50 in human years.
3) There may be big problems with the building I live in. Elevator, roof, structural stuff. Expensive stuff. Potentially dangerous stuff? I don't know. I'm not an engineer. But I don't want to wake up in rubble like those Miami condo owners did. Am I letting my imagination run away with me? Perhaps. But this is not my area of expertise and I have to depend on others.
You know, Tuesday morning I was fine, wandering through The Loop, looking at the Christmas decorations slowly going up. Happy to be returning to normal.
Now I'm just scared.
Sounds like you are having a stressful week. I completely understand. Sometimes life ends up putting more on our plate than we can really digest. I hope everything turns out OK.
ReplyDeleteDeep breaths! Worry about work first - that sounds the most pressing - then Connie, then the condo. Baby steps, a day at a time, and soon it will be Friday, and Connie will be fixed up, and on Tuesday you'll blow off someone's socks with your brochures and presentation!
ReplyDeleteThe overwhelming feeling is daunting. But you know what--You've got this! One step at a time, one task at a time. You go, Gal!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about your sense of smell. Covid has some crazy side effects. Ive heard that you can "retrain" your sense of smell using essential oils - I have no idea whether that is true or not. I love your quote!
ReplyDeleteoops - sorry - my earlier comment was supposed to be on sunday stealing!
