You know, sometimes you get things all planned out for your day and your week and they just don’t go the way you had hoped and expected. Sometimes it’s something really big that throws things off. Sometimes it’s a lot of little things that you can’t really identify but that made things not happen as you expected. This was my week. I’m not really sure exactly how I expected my week to go I just know it didn’t.
It probably started on Sunday when I was working along getting things in general done and I moved funny and my back went wonky. I did still manage to finish up the things that I really needed to do, like grocery shopping. However, I don’t think I got other things I had planned on doing, done. I know I didn’t during the week though I did still manage to get workouts in on Monday and Tuesday. But whatever else I planned to do those evenings after work and workout, well they just don’t seemed to have really happened. And I make lists of things I want to get done. There aren’t near enough items crossed off for the week.
I know Wednesday didn’t go as planned. I usually take that day off from my weekly workout, it gives a break in between and so far has been very beneficial. I had planned, after work, to stop at the Optician to see about computer glasses, stop at the produce shop, get some milk at the health food store, then home to put things away so I could go to the bookstore as I was in dire need of some reading material, after that, home make dinner and work on a variety of things. That is not how it went. It went; after work, dash to the health food store for milk and bananas, dash way out to the boondocks to pickup my niece from practice and drop her at her home and then back home to put things away, back out to the bookstore because I really needed some challenging reading material, only to be disappointed in the offerings, something to be discussed in another posting, and then finally home for some food and not much else accomplished.
Thursday, while not as off the mark really didn’t go much closer to plans though it did see a few things accomplished. I did make it to the Optician for computer glasses. I should have them in a bout 2 weeks (I hope, because I’m excited about them). I also managed my workout, that came with a little socializing that put my schedule off but, what the heck. I still didn’t get to all the things I wanted to.
Friday started turning around though there was a moment that things threatened to go all upside down. We had a brief power outage in our building. It looked like there could be issues with the servers I’m responsible for. Fortunately, I only had one that required any real attention and that turned out to be much quicker than experience led me to expect. Hooray! The after work stuff went close enough to plan to consider it successful, I got to the hobby store, I got to the work out, stopped at the produce shop and the health food store, again. Even managed to get home in time to get an air filter from the apartment office just before she closed up. The rest of the evening, well, that was it for staying on track, but, hey, it was Friday and the end of my regular work week so why not.
Now I sit here at the weekend with my major ‘to do’ once again shifted to next weekend and lots of stuff left over that I need to get to. Oh well. I haven’t decided if I’m over ambitious, get distracted to easily at times or just more tired than I realize. It’s probably some combination of all three. I’m in great hopes that these computer glasses make a difference in the tired part. Often times it’s my eyes that are tired and not my brain or my body and then that’s it for me. Now, if these glasses turn out to be the bomb they say they are, I expect to be getting a lot more done and you will definitely be reading about them.
