Trying To Keep My Priorities Straight

My apologies for the lack of posting, but I am dealing with some crazy (thankfully, not dramatic) shiz, right now.

First, I had to get myself worked up (psyched out) to take my van to the shop to get the bumper fixed. Now, just so you know, despite the fact that it is necessary for me to do so, I actually HATE to drive. So, driving to a place I was unfamiliar with was as big a deal for me as going to a job interview is for some folks. The way they might think, "I hope I don't say anything stupid.", I think "I hope I don't get lost". When I am the navigator and someone else is driving, it's no problem. But, by myself, I'm a basket case. Sure enough, I almost made my way OUT OF TOWN! trying to get to the collision repair shop, this morning. I was only a few miles away from dirt roads and the boondocks before I recognized the last street before the end of civilization. I finally made my destination...On Time, I might add (you regular readers know how anal-retentive I am...you betcha, I left early, just in case I got lost **wink**).

Of course, when I woke up the morning, to leave the house before my regular cuppa is even brewed (!), I noticed I had that slight sniffly, scruffy throat feeling...This really sucks because not only am I a bundle of nerves being forced to drive around town in unfamiliar territory, I'm doing it with a freakin' cold and hacky cough that even cough drops will not dissipate. So, it's me, DayQuil Cold and Flu, and Cepacol sore throat drops.

On top of all that, I have adminstrative stuff that I need to see to...although, I might procrastinate on them, because they are not really urgent...might put it on DHs "to do when I'm on R&R list..." (Ok, except for one thing that needs my immediate attention...ahem...).

Truthfully, I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. My shows are becoming more successful, so there are contracts and paperwork and running around hither and yon...getting dressed and pressed for a 5 minute meeting...frustrating...plus, all these intrusions interfere with my daily requirements at home.

I'm not sure how much blogging I will do in the next week because I am fried and because I am on contract, there is no way to get out of work, so that means, I need to find other ways to relax and work through this cold (read: sleep). So, please bear with me while I nurse myself back to good health.

Namaste.
