Here’s what we’ll be up to this next quarter. I’m letting this one go through end of April. The bucket list is just to give us some guidance as to what to do or focus on.
I’d say our bucket list has changed a bit. We often had a lot of outings, but the last few years have been so busy we actually have gobbled up any spare time at home. The bucket list used to be places we would like to go and then I started adding goals and some projects to it. But I like the way it has morphed and it’s just another way to get my goals in front of me. And truly try to live the life we want to live and do things we want to do.
Honestly I also REALLY enjoy checking something valid off the list. It makes me get a thrill for accomplishing something. Isn’t that sad? lol. I need to check list to feel valid? lol Sad, but I’m laughing. You know me and my lists.
Work
Ok, I’m much better today. The week was exhausting with its trial and tribulations. I’m tossing it off to a bad week due to circumstances and also year end stresses/year beginning stresses. I think everyone is feeling it and it’s not just me. In my talks with God this week, He has made it clear to me that I need to work on my REACTIONS. That often I’m not the ROOT CAUSE of issues but I make them worse by my REACTION. I get that. I struggle with that. I am a genuine person, and if I’m frustrated, or passionate about what I’m doing and doing it right or on time, I’m going to show it. I’m not very good at hiding that someone is frustrating me or messing up the process at hand. So what do you guys do? It’s so hard to smile and act like things are ok when it’s really not. So I struggle with my honesty. I prefer being genuine and not cover up my frustration with a fake smile. I don’t know how to do it, but I’ve always struggled with this.
One thing I’ve tried to do in the past is just not care. Well that doesn’t seem right does it? lol. Anyway, it’s all good. Today was quiet and I made some pretty strong progress. Month end is done on time. And Year End is very well in progress. I’m down to 2 big states and they are big ones. All is left I believe is to mostly enter w-2’s for everyone by hand. I think I’m back on track to where I was last year. Seems like I finished Feb twenty something. So hopefully next week will be quieter and I can get all that massive data entry done.
I really do mean well, I just want everything to go smoothly always. I uphold myself at a high standards and I uphold everyone else to the same standards as well. I think people are not fond of that though. lol. But I really do try.
Weekend
I’m just so elated that the weekend is upon us. I’m going to enjoy tonight just being with George and my doggies. We can watch a movie after dinner and snuggle the night away. Oh…and I want to read some too. Tomorrow I’ll vlog my day. A very raw day in the life of my only day off. Well I’m off on Sunday but technically not much of the day is mine. I may be off from work, but it’s the Lord’s day and also Mom’s day so I don’t count it. If I don’t get my Saturday to reboot we have problems. But luckily I’ve been getting them lately. That really helps when the work days are kinda snotty. Sorry for the graphic verbal pic there, but it has been a bugger this week so why not.
It makes my day when I hear from you…
