Play by Play

  • 5:50 a.m. - alarm goes off, vaguely remember hitting snooze
  • 5:58 a.m. - second alarm goes off, vaguely remember hitting snooze
  • 6:20 a.m. - many snoozes later, decide headache and tiredness wins over gym for today
  • 8:45 a.m. - get in deep spiritual conversation at work, good stuff
  • 10:00 a.m. - asked to be "fake" bridesmaid in setup for wedding
  • 10:13 a.m. - trip stepping onto platform, fall down awkwardly, feel pain, try to be tough
  • 10:14 a.m. - notice big toe is bleeding, still trying to be tough
  • 10:14:30 a.m. - notice toe is really bleeding, realize must stop bleeding
  • 10:15 a.m. - make it to bathroom, start cleaning wound and assessing damage. Split second concern over how bad, hoping no stitches are needed
  • 10:15:30 a.m. - realize toes just bleed alot, no stitches needed, but nasty, big slice on the pad of toe = not good
  • 10:16 a.m. - start to realize what injury means, no treadmill at the gym for a while, sadness sets in
  • 10:21 a.m. - toe bandaged up, throbbing starts, thankful for computer tower to prop foot up on
  • 11:01 a.m. - realize gas and brake pedals pushed by toes - must drive differently, feel like 16 year old learning to drive
  • 2:42 p.m. - working from home while awaiting Sears to deliver new washing machine
  • 3:05 p.m. - suddenly realize work project isn't as easy as expected, minor panic sets in - big project + vacation next week = Eek!
  • 3:05:30 p.m. - scour house for chocolate, always helps to think clearer and refocus
  • 3:07 p.m. - no chocolate to be found! Perplexed. Settle for Apple Jacks out of box, not the same
  • 3:32 p.m. - Sears arrives
  • 3:40 p.m. - Sears leaves, amazed at service and speed!
  • 3:40:30 p.m. - contemplate returning to project, decide to play with new washer instead
  • 3:50 p.m. - can not procrastinate any longer, sit down, focus and get determined. Stubborn side kicks in - can not allow program to outsmart me
  • 4:45 p.m. - getting so close to accomplishment can barely hold in excitement
  • 5:20 p.m. - first draft of project finished! Ready for feedback.
  • 5:23 p.m. - more laundry, thankful for washing machine; running out of clean clothes, those nearby should be thankful too
  • 8:32 p.m. - sit down to work on next project with upcoming due date, decide to blog instead
