If There Were Knitting...

| | Comments (4)

...there would be a real posting. Instead, I am just going to babble on a little bit about my life right now.

Mostly, I am amazed at how much I can get behind by taking 4 days of vacation. Especially when I did a lot of work on those 4 days. But right now, it's like a firestorm. I am one of those people who uses her email inbox to make sure that I've done what I needed to do. I don't file a message until I've responded to it appropriately. Lately, I feel like I've been playing email inbox whack-a-mole (remember that carnival game?). And I'm losing badly. Stuff just keeps flowing in, and no matter how hard I try, I'm just barely not keeping up. And I just hate that feeling like I am falling behind, so I've been very focused on trying to get caught up.

Combine that with my dearest sweetest husband having a birthday and it's a recipe for very little of interest to post on a knitting blog. I don't even have a good cat picture to show for myself.

I'm hoping the weekend will give me a chance to get myself together...

I share your pain. All work, no knitting makes for a couple of sad blogs.

Hang in there. I know how you feel. My little guy has been sick all week and I have a big deadline Monday. It's going to be a long weekend.

I thought I was the only one that used her email inbox that way. And now whenever I snooze a bunch of those reminders, I can think of playing "whack-a-mole." Good image!

Wow, me too. Email inbox to-do list. And I'm not even going to admit how many I have waiting for me there!

Whack-a-mole! I have asked folks in my life what that game was called, I feel that way a lot. Or that little square plastic game with numbers that move around almost like a crossword puzzle? With one space open? Where you're supposed to somehow get all the numbers in order? Some people can do that game. I can't do it and I swear that's a metaphor for my life. (And my inbox?)
