linaewen: (Duty of Two by EtoilePB)

I'll see it done... somehow!

I have the interesting situation today of having to accomplish two monumental tasks by the end of the day, both of which involve me working on them full-time -- and they can't happen simultaneously, because in spite of what it may seem, I am not two people! ;-)

Task One = a writing project. This is the biggie, which must be done today sometime. I can do it if I don't get writer's block, don't get interrupted, don't look at my emails, don't get sick from going to the dentist, and don't worry over much about accomplishing Task Two.

Task Two = whipping the house into enough shape that a guest coming today to spend two nights will not be horrified, but will instead enjoy his stay after coming from a long haul overseas. Oh, and cooking supper for him. Hubby will help me with some of this, but he has his own full plate to deal with today -- if he's not sick from the dentist, too. For some reason, I thought it would be a good idea to schedule us all at once to get our few cavities filled -- this morning!

Neither of these tasks will change the world as we know it if they don't get done -- but they are important nevertheless and my responsibility to accomplish on time and with grace. Your thoughts and prayers for endurance and clear thinking will be greatly appreciated today! As well, I wish to go through the day gracefully and with a good attitude, not a frantic one -- in spite of what it is pressing. With that in mind, I am determined not give up too soon and I will not despair (though I am tempted) -- it will all get done and this evening I will be rejoicing that it is behind me.

I'll let you know later how your prayers were answered! ;-)

Ah! I hope there aren't too many cavaties to fill. I also will keep you in my thoughts and prayers for finishing those two tasks. (((Lin))).

Oh goodness me... that is a lot to get done in one day!! You will most certainly be in my prayers, dear Lin - may God give you the strength and endurance you need, and may Boromir be at your side to encourage you! :)

It's rather difficult to be in two places at once isn't it? I hope you gett all you wanted to accomplished today!

Given that the day is nearly over, I hope you succeeded in your plans to do both. Of the two, I hope you get your writing project done, for I know that weighs on your mind, and the boys can help with the cleaning and dinner - right? Crack that whip! ( And thank you for the cute birthday card - Zoe wasn't impressed though - she yawned when I showed her and went back to sleep. Lazy butt cat =)

I have just a bit more to go on the writing, it will be done within the hour (hope, hope!). Then it's sleeping for me!

I didn't figure your kitty cat would be too impressed, hehe -- and I'd just like to see someone try that with a badger!

Hello
