Too many demands on my time this week, barring doctor visits and sewing. So, I am cutting my cloth to fit the time. No homemade treats for book club, I bought them, something I would never normally do.
I am using the few minutes in between normal waiting times to get things done. So far it is working. Just have to continue using the small moments.
Finally, the cardiologist called and I am scheduled for Friday morning. It will be my 5th trip to the doctor in a week. But maybe get some answers before I leave.
I was able to get a really hard wedding dress done yesterday and I have another being picked up today. Then the one I have been working on will be picked up tomorrow. I started another wedding dress yesterday and I will finish that today and then start the next one. My goal was to get 4 done before I leave. That might not happen as I have several other prom-like dresses to get out by Friday. If I don't finish the 4th wedding dress, I ca always call and tell her it is 1/2 way done that way they worry less. Also, no new work in until I get back. If Sissie wants to take in work, she can do that is fine, but I am at my limit for now.
Tomorrow, I have a mammogram in the morning which is always a treat as I have no boobs (not talking about late spouse) and the stretching of my skin is horrid.
I am trying to get the house cleaned up and keep it clean so I am not running around like a mad fool tomorrow, which will be a busy day. Sissie is with me all day today and that helps with the stress level as she mows through the easy stuff.
We took Dan out to dinner last night for his birthday and Sissie and I split a sandwich. It was very good and we had a nice time.
Well, I am off to set the world on fire or my sewing machine whichever comes first.
What technique do you use when you have too much to do?

Generally speaking, when I have too much to do, I procrastinate some more. As deadlines approach, I do those items and then procrastinate more until something else comes due. This week it was finishing my taxes. I mailed them yesterday.
ReplyDeleteDid you happen to teach at LHS in the 90s? Both of my kids graduated in 1997 and my daughter, who was in special ed., was fairly well known around the school. You might have known her.
Please don't over do it.
ReplyDeleteSay no.
ReplyDeleteBought treats was a great call. I'm glad you're prioritizing your medical appointments while juggling so much. Not knowing your finances, I can't do recommendations on saying no to work, but glad you'll get a break.
