How Is Your Day Going?

My day seems to have gotten away from me.  How could that be?  Very simple.  Too many projects started at once.  Indecision somehow had it’s way with me.  I was supposed to go to the eye doctor but the roads are still slippery from our first blizzard of the season.  I finally made the decision to reschedule.  Now, I thought about shoveling snow.  I thought I was so smart and had all of my snow gear together.  The one thing I was missing was my snow pants.  That meant going through tubs.  So far I haven’t found them.  I have two more tubs to go through.  I guess all this decluttering one does still isn’t always going to go our way.  

This is the first year I have misplaced them.  I don’t even know if they fit me because of my 10 weight gain and simply the changes of my body shape due to age.  

I know that this is a very ineffective way to go about my day.  I got up early and got my morning routine done and then because of indecision that brought out my SHEness the Afternoon Routine went “Poof!”  Then I couldn’t get it out of my mind where those snow pants were.  Then I remember I know I put them with some other snow gear in a tub that wasn’t really very easily accessible.  I knew it at the time too.  But that “I’ll do it later” set in and that was that.

I can’t stand it.  I have to look in those two tubs that are in the back even if I have to move things to get them.  So I set out to do it.  The first tub no.  I had to lift that tub and set it out of the way where the other tubs are currently sitting.  So now comes looking into the second tub and there they were along with some more winter gear.  The next thing I had to do is see if they fit.  Well let’s just say they are snug but can be worn.  I may go outside and shovel just a little bit just to get some fresh air.  Maybe it will help me change my attitude that I developed today because of this what I call my very own drama that I created for myself.  I thought I was over that.

Another lesson learned today.  I am simply going to leave it at that and move on to my Before Bedtime Routine.  The one thing I want done at this moment is to lay out my clothes.  I am cleaning my humidifier letting vinegar soak so I can get some humidity back into the air.  That will lead me to shink my sink. Just knowing that I will have those two things done, I may be able to do a 10 minute room rescue where I was looking for my snowpants and not let it be a reminder of what type of day I have had tomorrow.  It is time to get that timer out and going.  But first I am going to have my snack an apple and string cheese to hold me over till I make dinner.
