And, already it has been a rough day.

I’m not even certain where to begin.

First, I guess, I am feeling a little rough around the edges. I am worn from the work week. Sunday, in particular. So one of my Goals for my weekend is to rest, recover and recuperate. A little bit of self care.

Of course, the To-Do list feels endless at the moment. I have people I want/need to get in touch with over the next two days. Preferably, all of them today. There are the Weekly Chores - cleaning, laundry, etc.

I have some things to manage for The Professor. I wanted that on my list for today.

And then there is everything else - I still have a plethora of crafting projects…

WALT: Jefe, do you know what a plethora is? I would not like to think that a person would tell someone that he has a plethora and then find out that that person has *no idea* what it means to have a plethora.

Don’t start with me, old man.

I have metal scrapping to attend to - a piece to pick up today, stuff here to organize and prep, more stuff expected to come in at any time.

I have projects around the Dormitory.

I have new Daily Practices I want to learn this week.

I have errands to attend to, most of them down in The Valley - many of which are better suited for tomorrow.

Financially, I am exactly where I had anticipated. I have four days until I have my pay. By 2300 on Thursday I will be able to function and tend to business. But, until then, I have about a half tank of gas and currently, $7.72 to my name. There would have been just slightly more but Sunshine wanted to try her Visa on the App Store again. At least she chose a $2 item this time. And, she sent me a text to let me know what happened. We’re all good on that. But $2 is $2. Especially at the moment.

To add to my stress I realized that the appointment I thought I had with support tomorrow is actually on Wednesday. I am scheduled to work on Wednesday. So, I need to take care of that.

There was work to be had first thing this morning. I do not know as of yet what the course of my day will be.

I had a note here that I wanted to talk about the hour tracking. Last week I clocked a total of 74.82 hours.

40.42 of that was The Job. That leaves 34.40 hours.

In whichever ways it came, this project consumed 13.08 hours of that time. 9.05 hours was spent on other efforts such as administrative work, crafting tasks and ministry practices. That’s a whole other work day there. Not to mention a work day and a half spent on this project.

8.17 hours was spent on household responsibilities and driving.

The last 3.8 hours were logged at Safety meetings.

Even though I feel like I haven’t gotten much done, I must have done something. That is an awful lot of hours to have done nothing at all.

It’s a long, slow process and I have to remember that. Step by Step. Day by Day. Week by Week.

Finally, I am going to be attempting a video per the next couple of days. There’s a vibe I cannot quite pinpoint again. Perhaps we can find it together. It will be one of those follow along videos, popping up here and there throughout my days. It will probably also be a multi-video segment.

For now and for always, Fellow Travelers - Stay Tuned In and Peace and Blessings unto you.
