Work, Life, and Balance

The writing and home schedule I set up a few days ago went completely out the window.  Somehow if it could go wrong it did - I managed to drop, break and otherwise damage almost everything I have picked up…causing me to clean up the mess I made trying to clean up the initial mess.  And for some reason I have managed to pick up a rash of defective items at the store ranging from stuff at the grocery to hair color.  At least work has been going smooth so far at least.  We are working our usual Saturday overtime, and at the rate we are going maybe Sunday too.  But that is okay since I need the extra money for the holiday.

Speaking of the holiday I have to mail my packages home…I refuse to pay $50 for an extra suitcase.  Postage is just cheaper.  I bought a little gift for each person and still have to grab gift cards.  And Ricochet (my dog) got her boarding reservation made.  At least that part has gone somewhat according to plan.  The bills however are not.  Somehow I forgot about some payments last month, and they are coming back to bite me.  This is the only part I really don’t like about the holidays, they just make everthing a malfunction.

 I still want to know why it is when I try and organize things nothing goes according to plan - ever.  I swear it must have something to do with Murphy’s Law being out to get me.  I know what I need to accomplish on my day off, but I refuse to plan anything for fear the Earth may inadvertantly spin off its axis. 

And my writer’s block still persists - though I am noticing it is starting to lift slightly.  I think I am just trying to plan to much in my head and instead of coming out in an organized manner it is attempting to fall out in one big gob that needs a secret decoder ring to figure out.  Writing in my blog is helping a bit, but I wish the ideas would start flowing….just a tiny bit.
