124/365 Le Freak

I have a deadline this morning. I am completely freaked out about my workload. I have way, way too much going on. This morning I had to take my car to the mechanic. Tim drove his car, we dropped mine, he dropped me back home. He’ll be late for work.

Then the mechanic calls. Did I leave him the keys?

Here’s a little song from the 70s by Chic that I haven’t thought about in years. And yet I did this morning.

Oh to have day like that on Friday. Bet it will make the martinis taste all the better tonight. Hope the rest of your day goes smooth.

The reason I've been so absent lately is that my two younger kids are finishing school today. My oldest finished on Tuesday. The grind of shifting gears.

"Summer is here," she said smiling nervously, hoping she would actually survive the summer without going for a nice stay at a place with white walls and calming voices.

I had strange dreams last night: I was preparing a report on material I hadn't read, on behalf of someone I didn't know, and I couldn't figure out why I had obligated myself to do such a thing. Then I was running around and around and around a small indoor jogging track, but the sides were sloped like an auto race track and occasionally sloped downhill so that it was easy to lose one's footing. I was running with two other people, one of whom was nude and extremely fit, and terribly annoying. There was a third snippet in which I was late for meetings, had huge deadlines looming, and couldn't remember what they were.

I woke up relieved that my real life was more manageable, if only a tad. It put everything I have to do today in better perspective.

Take many deep breaths.

And have you washed those windows yet?

Otter said...

S.Y. That was great. Thanks.

LO: Oh, good look with the transition!!!

SY: Nude, extremely fit people can be so annoying.

Helen: Deep breath. No.

LO: I meant luck. Whenever I don't bother to preview, it seems my fingers did something I didn't mean for them to.

But maybe I need a good look too. I could sure use losing 40 lbs and that would be a really good look.
