It's already Tuesday the 22nd of March.  The speed of day and weeks is enough to give me a headache.  I can't keep up with it all.  I have so much that I need to give attention to, but not enough time to do it.  And then to make it worse I run out of energy.  It really takes effort to keep on moving day after day and week after week.  I'm trying to remember if it was easier or harder back when we had a house full of kids.  I guess that I ought not to even try to think about it.  I can't win either way.  So forget that I brought up the subject.

I had every intention of sleeping in this morning.  But my better side got me out of bed just before 7 a.m.  I worked in the office straight through until noon before I stopped to have my breakfast.  Then I felt like I had turned off a switch and I felt so tired.  But after I ate I got right back to work and I actually finished the work from last Friday long about 3 o'clock.  Now I can get to the pile 'secondary' work that fills up my desk.  I let it pile up as long as I have 'timely' work that needs my attention and when I get caught up on that I work on my pile.  Sometimes it goes pretty fast and sometimes it takes a long time to do.  But I figure that it will take up most of my time tomorrow to make a significant dent in it.  I remember times when I had less work to do and I could go and do my afternoon errands or sit and watch  tv. For the past couple of weeks I have relied on Sheilas to help me out in the afternoon or sometimes I would just skip some of my rounds because I needed to stay here and do stuff.  As much pressure as I feel with more work I guess that is is better then when all my pressure was because I didn't have enough work for me or my guys.  I find it hard to live in the future and hard to dwell on my past.  So I just try to take it as it comes and do the best that I can with what I have at the moment.  Look at the time, I have already stayed up past my bedtime!
