Wacky Wednesday
Hard to believe that today is already Wednesday. Have a gazillion things to do (at work and on the personal front) plus have tonight and Thursday night already booked up. Not sure if there will be any energy or time for Decy and I this weekend as: (a) I need to do some more work, and (b) we were hoping to go to the 4 Seasons for Sunday brunch – sort of a “Thanksgiving Dinner”. Plus, I need to run on the treadmill this weekend (missed the last two weeks) which is a 2.5 hr ordeal start to finish to cool down. Plus, I need to do some work for Chely’s college applications – we are trying to finalize the 1st two this weekend (Florida International Univ, Lee University).
Today I have 3 meetings in the morning …. all 90 minutes to 2 hrs each … starting at 8am, 9am, 10am …. should be interesting. Then, when I get through that, tonight I have a special event where some of the company employees have a dinner and socialization with the local press and NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations: such as Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity, Cancer Society, etc, etc.). This is a new event for me, I have never been involved in these kinds of activities. I am trying to branch out in my areas of influence and activity. Don’t know if it because of my age, experience, or overall lack of job satisfaction in the more “traditional” areas of work. Although these “softer activities” take time, I am finding them more fulfilling – maybe old age is sinking in.
We continue to make plans for Christmas. Decy is working and reworking the “mini-vacation” plans as the number of folks going on our 5 day outing keeps changing. I think we are up to 11 folks, filling two SUVs, and requiring 4 rooms with two drivers rooms. Plus, looks like we need to re-arrange the house a bit to ensure privacy and sleeping arrangement for all. Pretty quick here, I need to get Chris and Paul their “shopping list” of USA-available-only items (Decy’s make up, Lysine, etc).
So much to do …. so little time to do it. Yikes … it is already 450am … and my blackberry is buzzing from new emails.
Gotta run … need to take care of some stuff before eating breakfast (porridge) and heading off to work. ciao ciao.
