So, here I am, ostensibly at the end of a week off, why don't I feel like I've gotten anything accomplished??? OK, so I started off the week with walking pneumonia, but what the heck, I have worn a bodice for Renn Fair for years and am used to functioning at 50% or less O2.
Day 1 of time off, spouse and I spent the day together, quite nice actually and then he was back off to work on Tues.
Day 2: Place of employment accepted new referral effective 2/12. because the child is under 3 yo, she does *not* have this week off and must get services...to quote Jayde, "Fuck you sideways with a blender...". I was *so* looking forward to time off and I know it is only 40 min round trip plus half an hour with the nipper, but *meow* all the same.
Day 3: Oh Joy! Appointment to get taxes done and eyes checked. Good news, the reason that the glasses give me tension headache is that the wombat at WalMart , who insisted that I must be having difficulty with seeing objects close at hand because I was, "OVER 40 YEARS OLD", despite numerous protests that I am not yet holding books or *anything* else at arm's length, changed the prescription in my glasses. End result of visit at a competent MD- I have 20/20 vision in both eyes, *despite* my advanced age. Taxes did not go so happily, my last place of employ, by not paying the max allowable mileage per the fed government stiffed me almost 3K and I ain't getting it back, in fact, we will owe almost that much. The joys of starting a new business halfway through the fiscal year...next year will be much better. And given how much we owe in taxes, so will my waistline.....
Day 4: Bagged on the nipperkin, caught halfway up on the paperwork and got some fiber dyed for spinning. Even went out and shoveled so Rory didn't have to hop through the snow drifts that weren't supposed to be there. Oh yeah, oil change in here somewhere, too, along with quick trip to grocery store.
Day 5: Today I well and truly have off. Hard to enjoy at the outset as Rory is not happy about the disparity in our schedules...like it's my fault?? Not to worry, by 12:30 and a glass of wine, I am well and truly over it! :-) 2 more batches of fiber dyed and paperwork ignored, the day is looking up....Wonder if I can wedge any time in with the spinning wheel?
Am I insane to have expected to have accomplished more?? Perhaps I should start playing the lottery so I can indulge my creative side and still maintain a roof over my head???
I blame Rory....he is the one that got me to explore what I can do with my crafts more, and now I begrudge the time that I have to spend earning money rather than playing. Perhaps someday I will have the skill to walk away from the mundane job and follow the crafting, but it ain't happening any time soon and today it makes me vexed.
Now don't you all wish that I'd post even less frequently??
