My life continues to be overflowing with too many things to do. I’m thankful that I have things to do and that I’m able to do them but I haven’t made much progress getting over the time crunch. I’ve been working a lot which isn’t helping. I’ve always been a very busy person because I don’t like sitting still for more than a few minutes at a time but it’s been so bad lately.
Yesterday was a nice day. I spent lots of time with family and friends and tried not to worry about too much. I went to bed early and got up late. Apparently I needed some sleep! Today wasn’t too bad either. I had a few hours to spend cleaning up the kitchen. Yes, I said it. I spent a few hours and barely made a dent. There’s way too much stuff in my kitchen but I’m not going to stress about it. A little bit at a time is enough.
One of the big reasons that I’m stressing about the time crunch and not the mess is because my friend’s daughter had a kidney transplant a few weeks ago and things aren’t going too well. She’s back in the hospital so I’ve been helping my friend with her barn as much as I can. It’s a lot of driving back and forth so on the days I do that, I can’t plan much else. Thanksgiving is usually my time to get away and de-stress but not this year! I’m not doing much of anything except helping out with the barn and spending time with family.
I know I’m just rambling again but there’s so much going on that I’d like to talk about that I don’t know where to begin. It seems like my thyroid levels might be off since I’m really struggling with organization right now in everything. Six month lab work is kind of a joke because all I need to do is look around my life and I can tell you what my levels are doing. I need to get in to see my endocrinologist once more before he retires in two months. It’s so upsetting. We battled it out a few times before finally coming to an understanding and now I’m going to miss him. Throwing that in the mix of craziness isn’t really helping much.
Oh well, it’s just another day! I hope things are going well for everyone! And I hope everyone is planning a fun family and/or friend filled day on Thursday.. Happy Thanksgiving!
Oh no, Jen!! I’m sorry to hear about your friend’s daughter! That makes everything else so unimportant!! I will pray for her healing, and strength for the Mom, and you to keep helping!
Thyroid levels flucuating is so frustrating. Mine has been level for 6 months now. The longest ever! Woo hoo!!
I do hope you get a chance to slow down some this week.
I’m thankful to hear from you, my friend!
