Take Time to be Joyful! Slow Down...
OK, so I am still going on and on about Monday and here it is Wednesday already...Sixty degrees Monday and ice responsible for a two hour delay today. To say that put a kibosh in my plans is an understatement!
So instead of working today (too much ice to drive to the hinterlands, never mind a late start...) I tried to get errands done. Stress "tried." Long lines everywhere, desired items gone (could that have anything to do with the fact that today is December 17th?!?!?!) and multiple calls from Tianna on her friend's cellphone; apparently she found it necessary to keep me posted on her whereabouts moment by moment.
We have a Christmas party with Howie's department tonight. I decided to get dressed up.
And the highlight of my day was getting an email from a friend, fellow writer and blog reader who shares similar feelings and passions about community outreach. God is up to something...Oh, and a phone call from another writer friend who asked me if I would like to lead a teleconference/coaching session for beginner writers. Wow!
Tomorrow I put my nurse chart reviewer hat back on. Maybe I will wear the one I have on in the picture...
Cheers!
PS I know I am not the only insane one out there trying to get too much crammed into too little time. My readers have fallen off the face of the earth. They are probably stuck in a long line somewhere, which is OK as long as they aer having fun.

What a hoot! I posted the same picture of you on my blog!
Great minds think alike! Look what I did? I made an HTML button.
Maybe I should be a web designer when I grow up!
HUGS!
Sounds like you two had a load of fun - Connie is the best :)
Have a Merry Christmas!

Hey, I'm still here! I have been dealing with some awful family dysfunction (family of origin). I am the mediator, we are all emotionally drained! Today is a snowday, I ran out before (or so I thought) it got bad, and got the makings for homemade fudge, which I will make with my kids today because it is festive and easy, and we can give some as gifts! Hope you have a blessed day!
I'm still here too! Busy weekend but fun. Finished, as it is, my shopping yesterday at the Salvation Army (or as a friend of mine calls it (Le Salvahcion Armay). I even found a black Eddie Bauer turtleneck (in size L, not XL!) for $.99! And it looks unworn. What's not to love?
Tree's not up yet, but the house is pretty much decorated and candles shine from each window. This is such a wonderful contrast to last year, when I was too sick to do a thing, including Xmas dinner -- we had take-out Indian!
And you know what? It was delicious.
