Every day goes pretty much like this for me, it’s just the details that are different.
I went to bed last night with the goal of getting up this morning, publishing a photograph or two, and writing something interesting, at least to me. I probably should have forced myself to do it last night, but the long day I had was wearing me thin and I was already starting to fall asleep. So I just went to bed.
I was wide awake at 3:30am. But, forced myself back to sleep knowing I have an even longer day in front of me. My alarm went off at 4:45am, just like I asked it to. I hit snooze. I thought I hit snooze. At 6:30am I get out of bed.
Knowing that I’ve lost two hours of my morning I can choose between A) being to work much later than I’d intended, B) not publishing anything, or C) just being a little later than planned and publishing something quick and easy. I go for option C. As I start to search for a photo I realize I haven’t done a quick cleanup operation in my photo catalog in quite a while so I kick it off. Of course it gives me trouble. It should take 5 minutes. It’s been running for over 20. And then, the software crashes and the clean up is lost. Of course.
So now I haven’t written anything (except for this). I managed to get the software back up and pulled a photo out of it. Of course, I had to edit it even quicker than usual, which means I’ll probably end up redoing it. If I wait much longer, I’ll be stuck in traffic and end up at work a lot later than I want to be.
Welcome to my life — every day.
Send love, encouragement, excitement, distractions, and anything else you can muster. I’m going to need it today.
As she looked upon him seated on the other side of the table wearing a suit that looked so expensive she couldn’t even imagine the cost, her eyes filled with tears and panic. She knew what was coming next.
“So, Sarah, in return, I have only one favor to ask of you.”
