Neglecting the Ones I Love...

I haven’t dropped off the face of the earth – yet.  I just can’t keep up and there are many things in my life that are being neglected.
 
This Blog – I love blogging, but I haven’t been able to come up with anything interesting or intriguing to say.  Blogger and Gmail has been completely blocked from my work computer, so this makes it extremely difficult to blog or even read blogs.  By the time evening comes along, I have a million other things to do at home and blogging hasn’t made its way up the list.  It frustrates me and I feel like I’ve failed miserably at something that I enjoy doing.   My apologies to everyone…
 
Exercise – What is that?  Does the hour I spend in physiotherapy for my sore neck each week count?  It’s been at least 3 weeks since I’ve worked out.  Not good…
 
Me –  Let’s see – I need to get back to eating healthy.  I need a haircut, a pedicure, a manicure, a facial.  I need to make an eye appointment, a dentist appointment and a doctor’s appointment.  As you can see, I’m overdue for my spring tune-up….oh, and my car needs an oil change too. 
 
My Wardrobe – It’s May and I’m still wearing winter stuff.   I also need some new shoes, new sandals, a new purse and a new outfit for a wedding I’m going to in June. 
 
My House – I don’t even know where to begin on this one…windows, curtains and blinds need to be washed, floors need to be scrubbed, closets need to be cleaned and that’s just the bare minimum.
 
My Yard – Thank goodness for J and The Boy.  They’ve done a lot of the outside spring stuff, but I still like to control certain outdoor chores - my perennial gardens need some extra attention and my deck needs to be stained.   
 
My Business – Once again, I’m behind with everything on this – my inventory is low, my supplies are strewn about my living room, my website needs to be updated, my accounts are not up-to-date and I have orders to make and no energy to do it.
 
While life is overwhelming me at the moment - I’m positive, I’ll gain control again – hopefully sooner, rather than later.

Oh man that sounds exactly like me. Oil changes for both cars, pedicure, still wearing my winter wardrobe, house to clean and organize, no exercise! Yikes! At least you are not alone my dear! You will get it done I am sure. I think it is all about priorities - whatever makes you the happiest and or gives you the biggest sense of accomplishment! :)

I feel ya. I have been exhausted of late and feel that I just can't catch up! Wish I had your Boy's energy, maybe then I could catch up to the rest of the world :/

You have just put into writing what is going through my mind. At least now I know I am not alone in finding there are not enough hours in the days, or days in the weeks and that it is time to make choices over what is most important to do.

Sometimes life catches up on you!

Wow. I could have written this post myself! What I couldn't get done if I didn't have to go to work.

I Was Feeling Pretty Good Until...

I had my annual “physical” yesterday.   I’ve been attending the same clinic for well over 20 years and am overall happy with the service I receive.  The clinic is part of a state-of-the-art teaching hospital, so with that I typically have relatively quick access to a network of specialists should the need arise.  With that being said, I’m usually treated by residents and have rarely had the same resident in all my 20 years. I felt pretty good going into the appointment and then not so much by the time I left.   Why do you ask? Well, first of all I was treated by Miss Doogie Howser.   I swear she wasn’t even legal drinking age.  That in itself made me feel old, because when I first started going to that clinic – I WAS her age. As she was running down the standard list of questions (i.e. do you smoke, how much do you drink, is there any history of heart problems in your family), she asked me “How is your sex life?  Any concerns?

Snot Bubbles and Wedgies...

Scuba diving can be the most relaxing, peaceful experience of your life – no cell phones, no boss and no noise, except for your own bubbles; however it can be a sport that is not for the faint of heart – rough waters, sharks and crushing depths. If you are self-conscious, shy or weak of stomach, scuba diving may not be for you. Let me explain… Warning: The following may be overly descriptive. Read on at your own risk… The scuba wetsuit. There is nothing glamorous about squeezing a size 8, 10, 12 body into a size 8 neoprene wetsuit, while sweating under the Caribbean sun. It’s sort of like trying to put a sock on while your foot is still wet. Scuba diving professionals may tell you, that neoprene doesn’t shrink, but those people are liars. What they are really trying to do is make you feel good about yourself – selfish bastards. I am living proof that my wetsuit has shrunk on numerous occasions – usually over the winter months. Coincidence? I think not. The wedgie. This un
