I have started several different posts on different topics and didn’t like any of them. I decided to write early today because my daughter will leave for work around the time I would usually start. My wife will be up and about and also getting ready to head to the office. My son is staying … More It’s A Words Are Failing Me Wednesday
Last week the school where I applied to be a sub contacted me and told me my resume had been passed on to the upper school principal. The HR person said they expected they would contact me soon. That was a week ago. Still nothing. I hate waiting and wonder why they have not contacted … More Waiting and Out of Sorts
I didn’t have anything I had to do yesterday. It is the one day of the week when I have never had a barn shift. My wife was out of town so I was alone until my daughter woke up late in the day. I planned to go to Panera, get coffee, finish my book, … More Stuck in Schedule Mode
I found on on Friday that a relatively new volunteer was hired for the job I briefly held at the farm. I’m glad they found someone else. I hope he finds the job is the right fit for him. I got a text from the facilities manager Sunday morning asking if I still wanted to … More Changes
I wrote last week about my day going off track. I did get the housework stuff done that I wanted to get done. I didn’t do any of the writing I had planned. I moved my regular Friday post to Saturday. I’m considering making that a permanent move even though I usually take Saturday off … More Still Off Track
EDIT – I hate when I change a word in the title and forget to change the verb tense before publishing. I had a plan for this week. It started off on track. I got all of my errands done Monday as planned. Tuesday mostly went as planned. I did end up with a different … More When Your Plans Go Off Track
I wrote before about how I needed to adjust my writing schedule because of my new barn schedule. I have not done that, so I have multiple days a week when I don’t write anything besides my TV post. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but my weeks seem off without my routine. Other things … More Routineless
This was the week I was going to start writing late morning or early afternoon. Instead, I am writing this real quick at 6 am before I head to the barn. Why? When I got home from the barn yesterday I still had their keys in my pocket so I went back to return them. … More The Best Laid Plans
I returned from Kentucky late last Tuesday night. During the time I was in Kentucky all I wrote was the What’s on TV stuff. Those don’t take a lot of thought or time. I didn’t live on any sort of schedule. It was a nice break. Now I’m having trouble getting back on track. During … More Struggling to Get Back on Track
Recently, the riding place where I volunteer sent out an email asking for volunteers to join the facilities team. They needed someone to work Monday mornings doing things like dragging the field, driving around with the water tank to fill water troughs, etc. I volunteered, partly because I removed myself from Saturdays, assuming they would … More Schedule Changes
