I am hard pressed to write today for a couple of reasons, starting with the fact that I really feel like crap today.
Yesterday was a really good day, the closest I've felt to normal in months.
Today, all of that has vanished. These setbacks are debilitating.
I don't understand why they happen , they just do.
I am sure that I will eventually adjust to this cycle. It's all kind of new to me.
It has been an unexpectedly busy day so far. While still on the early part of the first leg of my run this morning I received a phone call that the County had cancelled their bus today. This meant rerouting both of our buses, which just changes the dynamic of the day.
The person who normally handles this is on vacation this week so as the "senior" most driver, the powers that be turned to me for input.It felt good to be able to help out and advise.
By the time I parked the bus and handled an errand I had to run, it was 11:30, just enough time to grab some lunch and start to collect myself for the afternoon run.
After checking and answering emails, paying some bills, and taking care of some other business related chores, I found that I had a small window of opportunity to write.While the time was there, my mind is certainly not in the same place. So many thoughts are racing through my head that is is almost impossible to focus or concentrate,never mind being entertainingly creative!
I just felt that I needed to make sure that I engaged in the process of writing.
The process of sitting at the computer and getting words out, any words is akin to a musician practicing scales or an athlete getting in a workout.
Too much time away from a skill set dulls the senses.
Tomorrow is Friday and hopefully, my plate will be clearer and I will be able to engae in some real connecting.
One can only hope!
