I seem to have wended my way into the evening hours of a very busy day. Mondays are always very full of task switching because I have the post-weekend catch up along with any shipping and accounting. I may need to move my accounting day, but I’ll assess that after I’m done messing with tax paperwork. Regular accounting is routine. Tax accounting is annoying and urgent, particularly if the government changes the rules when I’m not looking.
Also in the category of “complaints” I would like to register it as unfair when a 10 second long power outage manages to kill a computer. We are hopeful that swapping out the power supply will solve the problem and we have someone scheduled to come do it at 7 pm tonight. This would be good because Howard really needs his machine for all kinds of important stuff.
Despite today falling firmly into the “insanely busy” category, I would like to note that I am in the process of cooking a not-from-a-box dinner. Rice is cooking. Meat is browning. Then there will be food. That Sunday planning really works. If I had not had a plan, then we would have defaulted to corndogs and frozen burritos, or buying food. Late. Because I would have dithered for at least 30 minutes as I tried to decide between spending money and saving time. I hate the dinnertime dithering. Doing the actual cooking is fine, but the pressure to decide quickly drives me nuts and delays everything.
Tomorrow should be less insane. I will have larger blocks of time to focus on a single type of task instead of switching rapidly. Also, I get to go out to lunch with fun people.
