Monday is too much with us

[linaewen]

That's a variation of a phrase my mom is wont to quote -- "Life is too much with us." It would seem there are many who are struggling with Monday today -- but I pray the day improves for you all.

I am actually doing better today than I have been all weekend. I've been under the weather a bit the last few days, but I'm starting to feel better, finally. Yay!

Something about a Monday, though, makes one think about goals for the week, and when I start doing that, I get all nervous and panicky about all the stuff I haven't gotten around to yet. That List of Doom is beginning to grow heavy again!

Which is why I am using my new icon today -- to remind me to leave time for myself, in spite of all I have to do. Boromir is the sworn enemy of my List of Doom, so he'll help me keep things in perspective!

Some of my goals this week include:
- visit with pippinswolf if we can work something out; that'll be a fun thing!
- driving with my son -- he's doing well with that, which is encouraging!
- helping said son get all his ducks in a row to start at the local community college in a few weeks
- get to the eye doctor, I just know I need new glasses!
- do expense accounts, ugh!
- my usual RW writing project for the month

Oh, and yes, focus on Boromir, as needed. ;-)

Now that I haev the time, I can immerse myself in Boromir goodness.

feeling better, did you tell us you were feeling poorly? i dont think you did...but i might be mistaken? (if you did, sorry, i missed it. if you didnt, why not? we could have been praying for you.)

as for monday, yep - goals. thank goodness my only goal last week was to pay the bills and although terriblly late, i got it done saturday night and in the mail sunday afternoon. huge load off my shoulders.

dont work too hard. glad to hear about nathan and college! and about driving improvments too.

Hmmm, it might have just slipped my mind to mention that. Ooops. I still haven't learned my lesson, have I?

I wasn't in bad shape, just struggling with low blood sugar a bit and a funny tummy. The tummy's good now, and the hypoglycemia is getting there. I get like this sometimes when I have a lot on my plate -- other than food, that is! :-D

[boriel.livejournal.com]

actually, in all fairness, i do recall now you saying to me (via email though) that you needed to get a snack....and the low blood sugar. so yes, you did mention it, and no i did not take it as you being abit under the weather, and no your friends did not know, but i did, and no i didnt pray for you...so shame on me :D

(did that make any sense lol?

[lin4gondor.livejournal.com]

Perfect sense, hehe! Speaking of which, I need a snack...

[mochagoddess511.livejournal.com]

well speaking of needing snacks, I could use a snack. In fact I wandered downstairs to get one and then there were so many to choose from that I just sulked back up the steps empty handed

((((Lin)))), I hope you had some time to yourself today and are feeling better.
