Mondays Always Get Me Down

Frankly, I’ve got so much on my plate at the moment that I can’t afford the effort to be down, even if it is Monday.

I’ve been chained to the computer, working on garden tour stuff today. And I have another day of that ahead tomorrow. I’m growing very weary of these projects that take every ounce of my energy for a few weeks.

I did take time to go have lunch with Terry this afternoon but that was it for fun today. Otherwise, just work.

Tonight I was looking for something in my desk and ran across a postcard I bought in Paris that summed up my world at the moment. This is just part of the card, but it’s so very true.

My home is just out of control – as it always gets when I’m working on a big project. All my attention is devoted to that and my life falls apart. I’m in the middle of that now, and I just don’t care for it at all. But, so it goes.

Well… I must get back to one of the many tasks at hand. Last night I was working furiously, trying to beat the 3 a.m. pickup at the post office. That’s such an insane thing to be doing. Tonight I’m printing 1200 postcards that will go out tomorrow. I still have to do publicity faxes and emails so they’re there when people get to their offices tomorrow. I want to do that before I go to bed, although I’ll need to be back up and working before most people will get to their offices.

But… it’s 1:05 a.m. now… so I should try to finish up a few more things and get at least a little bit of sleep.
