Failure, Frustration, and Futility


Yesterday was a complete and utter waste of time.  I got stuff done but none of it was done to any satisfaction.  Picked up flooring but they didn’t have enough in stock to make it a worthwhile trip, tiled but barely advanced the overall work, went to the grocery store but… (well that actually went pretty well).

To top my day of failure off, I drank too much yesterday and blew my calorie intake completely out the window.  I feel fine this morning but the results can be seen on the scale.  Almost back to the weight where I started before I started watching what I ate.  Just because of one complete failure of a day.

I think I’m starting to let the things that I need to do around the house stress me out so I’m going to make myself an easy to-do list for the next couple of days.  I’ve noticed that I’m rushing around yet achieving nothing and making a lot of dumb mistakes which frustrate me.  Giving myself a bit of a break until we’re back in town next week.

Not sure how much I’ll be able to accomplish next week but if I need to, I will stay home on the weekend rather than go to auditions with the kiddo.  I hate having to do that but this weekend will be a complete wash with the trip to Houston.  Also, next week we may have a visitor.  I just want to get the work done but my time is so limited it just all feels so futile.  I get maybe one row of tile laid a day.
