A Daily Check-In

[little_ms_sunshyne]

So everyday at rehearsal our director has us do a check-in. It's kind of therapeutic for me. We give a "bummer" for the day and then share a "highlight". It helps me see that an entire day is not ruined just because something unpleasant happened. The good balances the bad or sometimes outweighs it :-) On days we have no bummers, we share 2 highlights. Some days I walk in really excited to share. Anyway, I thought that maybe, at the end of your day you would like to talk about it. You have big news? Share it! We want to cheer you on! Have bad news? Share it! We want to support you.

So I will start:

Bummer: my days are so long lately that I feel like I could sleep for days! They start at 5:30 am and end at 10:00 pm. I love the projects I'm working on but am craving rest. I may not get any until June! On top of that Im moving. Seems like it is all piling up!

Highlight: Hard work is paying off and some business travel may be in my future! Oh and my student gave me a beautiful rainbow bracelet yesterday. She said I could wear it for the "rainbow parade" hehe Love it!

Highlight: Planning our trip to the Fla. Keys
Highlight: My honey is on way home!!! (travels)

The construction company I hate, that put it in last spring, didn't properly install it and water from the past year has not been able to run off of the control wires, effectively killing my sprinkler system. Good news: the sprinklers aren't possessed like I thought. Bad news: I would have preferred them to be possessed. This is going to be expensive!

Highlight - Work was busy and good.

Lowlight - My SUV stopped working this morning so I had it towed to the mechanic. It's all set now and I can pick it up in the morning.

Lowlight - The cable repair man was at my house this morning to figure out why my cable and internet stopped working last night. Apparently there is some sort of electrical issue and some wires are melted and some are hot and he said the grounding needed to be fixed. I'm not exactly sure what that means. I left messages with 4 electricians today. I'm hoping one of them calls me back tomorrow. The cable man said not to use the central air or any major appliances until an electrician looks at it.

[Happyfemme]

Highlight - Talking and texting with Chad about our vacation plans.

Highlight - Getting a lot of paperwork done at work.

[Sparkle]

The Highs: Our campaign has gone pre-maturely and unexpectedly viral; splashed all over the national media for a week; I've busted through all my crowdsource fundraising goals; $$$'s are still rolling in; we've exceeded all of our expectations, the boss is reasonably happy; colleagues' morale is high.

The Lows: I'm really tired and it feels as though I'm out of balance, work is consuming a massive amount of my time and energy, even when I'm not there I'm drained and pretty useless and I feel kind of flat - with dimmed fizz; every new success brings with it so much more work; crazy demands and outrageous expectations (like cuckoo-crazy-town-crazy) and stress.

The Mediating Factors: Soon the campaign will be on-the-ground and (I'm hoping) the stress will shift a bit. Soon my Love will be here for awhile. Soon -but not soon enough- I'll have a good stretch of time to read books on the beach in the wilds of northern MI.
