I'm having one of those mornings where I feel buried in a million things and even though I am plowing through things I still feel like it is too much and surely I am missing a million things and so I start crying.

I think work and life stuff is too jumbled in my head. I should probably find a stopping point and make to do lists so stuff is clearer.

I'm sorry msbelle. Making lists sounds like a good idea.

I am not sick to my stomach this morning, hooray! Was just queasy enough to be not sure if eating was a good idea all weekend, for whatever reason.

I'm sorry msbelle. That sucks. (Ooh, autocorrect knows your name!) Monday's can be the worst—I realized I have my weekly meetings with my manager on Mondays and all too often am freaking out even though I'm not quite so stressed the rest of the week...

Ugh. Sorry msbelle, that's a rough way to start the week.

I like using Trello type lists (trello.com) to track tasks. It's kind of a software engineering thing, but they work for other stuff too.

Instead of really focusing on my overwhelming to-do list, I'm easily distracted today. But YOU GUYS. I have a new favorite name! Worth Z. [lastname].

So I haven't done shit for my actual job today, but

• plumbers came and fixed the downstairs water (the pipes were frozen which caused a thingy to break)
  
• the junk guys came and hauled away a bunch of junk (building materials left in our side yard by the previous owners)
  
• had a pretty successful phone interview for potentially fun new job
  
• FINALLY dropped off birthday cupcakes at my daughter's school (her birthday was Thursday, school was closed Th/F last week - they might be stale but I don't think a bunch of 7 year-olds will mind)
  
• leaving in an hour to pick my son up for his orthodontist appt

That's enough, right? Do I get a nap now?

Goddamnit, I had a whole rant typed out (and validation for Jessica), and something ate it. Fuck you, computer and/or internet.

Rant, short version: Medication for migraines which was supposed to be covered by card from manufacturer has changed how they pay for it, without warning, resulting in it not being covered. Now I'm waiting for the doctor and manufacturer and insurance company to work it out.

Man, it was a much rantier rant before.

Oh HELL no, Dana!

And hell yes, Jess, you can have a nap.

I would like a nap.

Jessica should be napping now. As should I, and yet.
