Feb. 6th, 2023 02:57 pmi'm gonna go ahead and admit I'm feeling bleh today! Meg is home sick - she had a headache and tired that was making her MISERABLE yesterday - and sore throat and dry lips today - so that's a 'stay home' thing at this point.
Meanwhile, I think I'm getting it, because my lips are drained as well, my throat is kinda icky and et cetera. My contacts gave up the ghost and I don't have anymore so it's a glasses week, but the rx is out of date, so that's fun. And they pinch behind my ears.
And mentally I am all over the place today. Realistically, I THINK I'm on top of my projects & caseload. I have a long-ass meeting tomorrow that will go late, so I want to be sure I'm not dropping ballz due to that. (I need a better expression for that phrase, though).
My mind is super wandery, and I'm trying to allow it for a five min then rein it back in. Again: I FEEL yucky and distracted, but in reality I am doing okay. I would like to overachieve, I guess, and that's just not how this job works.
So I am trying to allow mind to wander into 'efficiency' territory - how can I do this better? How can i do my recordkeeping system (which I have to invent) in a way that is confidential but also has prompts? And stuff like that.
I guess these are normal things to think about. I went over to my newly added workspace (now I have a desk in a classroom at the HS as well as in the Central Office) to just see what it was like to work there- QUIET. Because i happened to get there during lunch. Because I was kinda antsy and needed to get out of here. So that was a good experiment I think?
Also allowed myself some time to explore some Human Needs like haircut, car appointment, attorney for estate planning, etc.
I do have something on a project I can be working on, but tbh, I needed this little bit of focus time so thank you dreamwidth, thanks me!
