My Kingdom for a Nap

I think I’ll get to Cleveland today – I’m decending there right now. I left my home at like 10 AM Tuesday so at 4:30 Wednesday it’s been a long haul. My bag is in Detroit though, which is less good. Maybe I can get someone to deliver it. I don’t have the energy or time to deal with it tonight. I do t desperately need it today – it basically only has my long-sleeved shirt in it – but I do need it to get the rest of my stuff home and I’m not excited about the idea of going to the Cleveland airport yet again.

Got a bunch of help with chores from Shanda today. Got all the rest of M’s stuff shipped and out of my garage, got a new appointment with a dental clinic that literally wouldn’t call me back for a week, is mailing this month’s care packages and helping me figure out how to deal with my bag. Plus listening to me anxiously bitch for a couple of days in a row, and dropping me off at the train. It’s been a hard and busy couple of days and it would have been much harder without your help.

Shanda joined a gym. I sort of wish she had let me try it once – or at least see it – before signing a year-long contract. But you know how gym membership sales go – you have to be pretty vigilant to avoid them. She says it has a sauna though, which is a main feature for me. Unfortunately it’s a segregated sauna so we can’t actually use it together. Someday it will be illegal to force people to use seperate facilities just because of the color of their gentials, but today is not that day. Still, it’s in a good location and I’m glad she’s excited about going. I could never get M to go to the gym with me but I think Shanda will.

Therapy tonight. Just a couple hours after I’ll finally get M’s place. I could have used a little more time between 2 days of air travel and starting a new therapist – a nap at the very least – but such is life. I’m less nervous about this one, which I guess is good. Or at least it hasn’t bubbled up past all my other recent panic, but I’m gonna take the hopeful view. I’m sure I’ll have a whole new set of concerns after I talk to her, at least if history is any guide.

Sort of a big project came in via an SR at the day job. It’s mostly work I can get other people to do, but it’s high profile and requires my frequent intermediation, neither of which are a great match for this week. I guess that’s on the plate for after supper and therapy and grocery shopping and whatever else I need to accomplish tonight. And all those SRs I need to dispatch to India. And the ones that I need to find a team for. And the 4 or 5 I’m already holding personally. Uhgn. If I was going to get all this done I’d need at least the extra day that travel ate, if not a second. I guess this is one of those times when I have to figure out what to not do, or how to more easily delegate to the none staff I have. For tonight though, much can kicking to keep the wolves at bay while I figure out something better.

At M’s. There are still a million things to do today, and maybe more writing, but for now… a moment of rest.
