Today has not/did not go as planned. I wanted to and needed to get some things done before my volunteer job, so I set my alarm for a reasonable hour. Unfortunately, I had my earplugs in entirely too well, and I woke up at 12:09pm. Ugh.
So, my fabulous day of doing dishes, working out, then lazily reading while volunteering turned into hurry-hurry-chaos-hurry. I only read a little bit, because it was just a busy day. There was a National Geographic camera crew at ADI, so people were constantly in and out of my area of the building, and people were actually coming in and wanting, gosh, help!
Then I got to feel like a complete noob trying to wrangle a design program on a Mac since my lovely student helpers were MIA at Big Time. I was stupidly printing multiple pages when I only needed one (of color! my little tree-hugging heart was bleeding), and couldn't figure out how to fix that until the last name tag (yep, it's 2 words today) was printed. Then I fumbled my way through a database, having to go back and find almost every person I put in to add something that I forgot. When one of the students finally showed up, I made her enter the last two people as a punishment, though she knows what she's doing and it took her about 2 minutes. It's not like I'm 85 and know nothing about computers! I'm intuitive, dammit!
So, I'm at home again instead of being at the gym. I was feeling harried, and I am going to sit and start anew tomorrow. Dishes are clean, laundry is washing, I'm sitting with my husband. I shan't have guilt.
Reading: I'm working on Storm Glass by Maria V. Snyder, which is not really a sequel to her "Study" series, but kind of is. There are some overlapping characters and it is set in the same world, a few years after the last book of that series. I'm really liking it so far. She doesn't write in any sort of sensational way, but I get sucked into her stories. They're earthy, but not slow. I wish I could describe it better. *
*edited because I used the wrong they're/their/there. I told you it was a blerg kind of day.
