It's still dark!
I tried getting up at 5:45 last week, but didnt' take into account the time i need to drop things, stare into space and basically, wake up. I felt like i barely made it to work in time for my 7:05 duty.
Yes...i said work. And duty....and 7:05!!! Yikes.
(we pause for a moment of staring out the window for no apparent reason.....?)
Wake up!!!
The last month has been a blur of cleaning, organizing, inventorying & planning. Then school started. The kicker is that, even though i've been working my tail off for weeks now, the pay cycle doesn't start until the end of September for me. I HAVE ANOTHER ENTIRE MONTH BEFORE I EVEN SEE A PAYCHECK!!
I now resolve, however, to start paying attention to things that are important to me again. In the face of the First Day of School "deadline", i spent every waking moment dedicated to Taking Care of Business. In that process, i missed several clogging classes, haven't done any ceramics, have fallen behind on my emails & phone calls, missed several friends' birthdays, haven't talked to my preggar sister in weeks.... and have watched too many of my beloved plants die!
Last night, i finally broke that pattern to go to a friend's house for fondue and, fondly, Mad Men. I actually considered missing that get-together to go up to my classroom...what a mistake that would of been. I saw so many gal-pals, who i have missed since the beginning of the summer...and now i feel recharged. I'm baaaaa-ack!
