Rude awakening
Today I’m tired. I’m glad that Friday is here once more, and that I don’t technically have to wake up for anything tomorrow, Although knowing me, I still will. I have been dragging myself around for the last two days, not knowing why I’m so exhausted. Am I getting sick? Am I over stressed, over…

Monday meditation
Another Monday List in hand Wondering how It got so grand If I had another 23 hours In each and every day I could do all of the things And would never have to say I’m sorry I can’t I’d love to but no There’s too many things Without enough time to show The world…

Half day Monday
I love half day mondays! This summer I decided that instead of taking a bunch of time off I was going to try to shorten my work week, Weather and responsibilities permitting. This is the first week where I’ve felt what that means, And so far, I’m digging it. This week, I worked only Monday…

Thursday’s thoughts
The weekly Thursday thought rolls around at five pm. Once again, I feel many years older than my age, confused why everything hurts and I’m so tired. And then I remember- I’m at the stage of life where a full day of the same kind of work drains me so much that by the time…

Midweek musing
How did the week creep up so fast? Only two more days until another weekend and my to-do list has grown once again. The long weekend has gone and taken its usual toll, with fond memories and sleep deprivation all I have to show for it. Now I’m confused about where my time goes as…

Draws close, the end
The scent lingers as I enter A hush over the room tells me I’m in a holy space I feel the weight of the air Silent and expectant Waiting For the moment when they shall usher Out an old friend I remember times when we spoke Good humour and wit And now I see eyes…

Night falls late in my home, My body droops and I sigh So much running through my head As another day goes by I wonder if I forgot To cross my i’s and dot my t’s And wonder if I remembered To give enough thanks and please Another month is ending, Another week almost through…

The catch up day
So today was my deliciously unexpected half day of work. Like most things I do, it didn’t go exactly to plan. Morning ran into lunch, then lunch ran into a meeting which turned out to be so enjoyable That we ran late (what? I know!) So by the time I got to my free time,…

The thrill of the list
I’m positively giddy. Thinking about next week makes me smile. I’m not sure how or when I did it but I actually scheduled some time off and for the first time in forever, I FORGOT to fill it up! It must have been a week I mentally skipped, but now I have time to get…

The not so long day
Another long day, in truth, the one I’ve worried about all week. Knowing that I’d have a full day at work and not get home until an hour after my bedtime filled me with dread. I’ve always been the kid who looked forward to bedtime, sometimes more than the actual fun event that preceded it.…
