Enjoying a Few Moments of Rest
That should probably say “stealing a few moments…” as there is still laundry to be folded and put away, things to be ironed, and paperwork to be filed. And I haven’t yet finished filling out my taxes, so I need to get moving on that.
But I am just enjoying a real sense of accomplishment at the moment. This morning’s two solos went quite well, and my choir director even hugged me, she was so happy! And afterwards, a lot of people stopped me to say that they had liked it, I did well, etc. The most meaningful thing said, though, was that the song really touched their heart, and they could tell that it meant something to me, too. That meant a lot. While it was nice to hear compliments on my voice, I didn’t really sing it so people would listen to my voice….I sang it to tell a story and give a message. So it was nice to hear that someone “got it.”
Add to that, I just finished managing to make some sort of payment (above minimum payments) on all of my bills. I’m good for another ten days. Rah!
And I have managed to get a good bit done today and yesterday, despite the insanity. Got my haircut and dentist taken care of on Saturday morning, and got back to the house in time to do a bit of laundry folding before the ex picked up the kids. He was a half hour late, so I was late to my Red Cross class, but they were nice about it—I was co-instructing anyway, and it ended up that they needed me to “float” between two different classes that were both learning AEDs with instructors who were new to the AED material.
I got home a half hour late because a dreadful storm whipped up—and it whipped up a good bit of trouble for my ex as well….more on that in my Oddments blog. The resultant insanity and chaos meant I didn’t get any time last night to do anything in the house.
We got up early this morning and headed off to church so I could sing at the 8:30 service. Then Sunday School, then singing with the choir (and repeating the solo) for the 10:50 service. Then ran the kids home to meet their dad, ran back to the church to pick up my lasagna dish from the potluck lunch, and back home to eat my lunch. I sorted through paperwork and e-mail for the next three hours, including paying the bills. That done, I’m GOOFING OFF!!!!!
A few minutes, and I’m going to have to stop skiving off responsibility and make supper for the kids and get things ready for tomorrow. Work. Hmmmm. It will be interesting. The local paper announced that my boss has resigned. So I don’t quite know what’s in store. I know I have job security for a while, at least.
But the insane weekend is over!
