Maids Monday
11 January 2021 08:51Sunday morning I felt a moderate amount of transition stress -- I didn't know when T would return from B's or what mood he'd be in, and I had intended to accomplish certain chores before he came back, but on Saturday I fell into sloth instead.
So, I got stuff done before he got home. When he got home he was in a good mood after a date weekend, so I was able to spend a few hours playing games with Steve & Friends online. Then T helped me to finish putting away the Christmas Tree -- I believe the cause of my back pain had been my attempt to retrieve the tree all by myself, so I wanted T's help putting it away. So far my back seems OK this morning.
This morning was a moderate amount of Maids Prep stress. Our first attempt at corralling the cats failed, and I hadn't finished putting away all my toys, so I felt more rushed than usual, but we were still successful and I was out the door by the 8am curfew.
Now at the condo, and I'm feeling some work stress, so I need to pile into working until I get to the other side. I'd like to do stretching and yoga here this morning before lunch.
After that water damage incident, I always feel the need to do a quick inspection upon arriving at the condo to make sure everything is working and nothing is leaking. I've become a bit, just a bit, messier about the condo because I know nobody else is coming here for a while.
And now with B back in the picture, I may get more Time to Self at the house, with less need for Time to Self at the condo. We'll see, that's not within my control and the timing is unpredictable. The weather this week looks conducive to running outside, I will hope to do that on Tuesday and Thursday. If I do yoga today, then weight lifting on Wednesday. Maybe some hiking with the dog if I get some 90-minute breaks from work.
The upcoming weekend is a 3-day weekend with MLK. Next week we have Inauguration Day, which is a day off for DC feds, at least those of us not involved in security for the event. It sounds like we may have more pro-Trump demonstrations coming ... so people in DC are a little nervous.
I had orgasms yesterday, so haven't put myself under another rule set yet; I think I need more time outside before I dive back in.
