The best laid plans NEVER work, so why do I try? *dramatic sigh*
This weekend, I made a to-do list for each day this week. Since I don't have a new daily planner yet, this is a good way for me to not forget appointments, keep track of what I need to do each day, etc...
Or it would be...
If I actually looked at the to-do lists.
This week and last week both went insane, and the to-do lists were totally lost in the shuffle. For example: Sunday night I had a horrible IBS flare-up, which pretty much knocked me out of commission for a day. Then, I couldn't sleep Monday night. Or Tuesday night. And not a whole lot last night either. I'm now kind of a walking zombie... who is caring for a friend's 8-year old son for two days because his babysitter (aka his aunt) is having drama in her life and would be mean to him.
So yeah, this week did not go AT ALL as planned.
But really... was it all bad? Nope. When a friend asked me to go to a doctor's appointment with her, we talked and bonded, and I crocheted components for a bracelet. When I was invited to a party with just a few hours notice, I got to hug and cuddle a new baby (he is only 10 days old!) and I ended up selling a broach and getting an alteration order, plus I will be making another broach and a bracelet in the future for another woman. I was also asked if I could embroider flowers. I of course replied that I could not, but would be learning soon :o)
So, my total profits for sure from that unexpected event will be $16. The other broach and bracelet should get me $11 more, plus several of the women seemed interested in the bracelets. Not bad for a party I wanted to go to anyway lol
In sad news, I'm wayyyyyyy behind in my alterations, and have to send an apology message to a customer. That always stinks. I think when she sees the finished product though, she will be more than happy.
So, there you have it... I'm exhausted beyond exhaustion, and my to-do lists are not at all working... but my house is freakishly clean, my laundry is done, my customers are mostly happy, and an 8-year old is happily playing Lego Star Wars in my living room. Life is pretty awesomely good.
