I feel behind on everything, both at work and at home. I don't have menus for the week, which bothers me - don't even know what we're eating tonight. Maybe pizza - there's a kid event from 6-7:00. Sigh. It's okay if I put salad/fruit with it, but I need to get back to regular cooking.
Car goes back in the shop tomorrow. Minor, but inconvenient.
Got a ton of grading to do. I hate grading. Okay, re-group. I tell my son not to say "hate" - there are very few things in life big enough to deserve that word, things on the level of deliberate cruelty or injustice. Normal daily things don't qualify. So, to re-phrase... I dislike grading. And I dislike feeling out-of-control and behind on my classroom teaching and other projects.
So I guess I need to do something about that. Procrastination set in yesterday, and got me... and I'm doing the same today. (But now I see it clearly, and will set my timer for "just 15 minutes" - a good trick for getting started!)
I remember a wonderful article on "dealing with overwhelm." Basically, it included breathing and focusing on one thing at a time. Here it is. Good to revisit that.
Smile. Breathe. Move slowly.
Remember what is important.
Take action against a sea of troubles.

Make time for enjoyment - even if just noticing the fall weather or appreciating a view.
