I have been busier today than I really wanted to be.  And my tomorrow will start much earlier then I would like.  Even now it is almost 11 and I just finished up some work to be ready for my early morning.  However, I know that that four letter word work is a good thing and brings about blessing after blessing.  I also know that there is nothing that can be figured out to get around it.  It is just one of those things that the Serenity Prayer lists in the category of 'things that I cannot change'.  So I do what I have to do and then think about and realize that I am not as picked on as I pretend to be.  I do feel overworked, but I have had times of being under worked and I have to admit the being overworked is better.  I'd like to be able to take the time to watch Cortney's game from last night, but that will just have to wait.  Maybe later tomorrow I will have some discretionary time, but right now I have to get up early enough to meet Marv at 7:30 and then get stuff ready for Richard and Jim and then Charles and possibly Stan if he ever gets better.  I am used to a certain amount of down time in a day, and it throws me off a bit when I don't get it.  But I also know that a day with too much down time isn't good either.  But you know the saying:  'the hurrierder I go the behinder I get'.  Even at my age I am still trying to learn how to pace myself.  Being our of sorts with your own day is a sensation that I do not particularly like, but its better then being sick like I was for the past 2 months and definitely better then my bursitis several months back.  So I'll take busy, overwhelmed, out of sorts with myself and living in a world that seems to overlook me because of the perks.  And because I am curious to see how this journey of mine is going to end and, of course, the journey itself while it is still going on, and on and on.
