The whoosh of… what?

[storytimewithjoe]

Feel that breeze? What was it that just raced by? The season? The weather? The weekend? Projects? Progress? Change?

 

Or maybe all of the above.

 

At some point yesterday afternoon, I felt a sense of sudden and unexpected calm. You know that scene when Dorothy is in the tornado sailing off towards Oz, and the house finally touches down? There she is, bouncing around in the bedroom, screaming, and when the house lands on the (poor, misunderstood) witch, Dorothy lands with a single, “Ooophh!” and the world is then suddenly calm. That was sorta how yesterday afternoon went (well, without quite as much drama). At one point, I stopped in my tracks, surveyed around me calmly, and thought, “what in heaven’s name happened to the majority of the weekend?”

 

This past weekend was really quite a mixed bag of activities, exploring the different facets of the guppyman’s personality, and different social groups. Yet when it came to attacking the “to do” list, situation and circumstance did not allow anything to happen until Sunday. Then add on some VEEEEEEEERY frustrating set-backs, and I found myself in the middle of the afternoon having had to do, redo, and redo to get back on track. On the one hand, Sunday’s big project was not a failure. But on the other hand, I found myself mentally fatigued, physically exhausted, and several hours behind where I had wanted to be.

 

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

 

Right now, I am multi-tasking far too much. I am making little bits of progress on several things at once, but none of them are close to being struck off of my “to do” list. For me, that is uber frustrating. I feed off of that sensation that I get when, with the stroke of a pen, I cross that item off my list. I swear, I feel such an endorphin rush when that happens. And lately, I think I’ve only been able to maintain the list without much project-completion.

 

Le Sigh. Not a tragedy. Just a little frustrating.
