Everyday, for the last two weeks, I’ve been running and my schedule has been jammed packed.
We consistently held game night on Fridays which was badass until work and parental duties came knocking. @guthrie had countless snow days and I struggled to keep him entertained. @kommienezuspadt and I had that huge production shoot which was mentally exhausting. We took a day off to catch up on sleep but the following day we were surprised with a forgotten shoot. I had planned on cleaning up the place, designing a new set before picking @guthrie up from school to finish the day running errands. That didn’t happen because it snowed so school was canceled....yet again. I spent my day trying to juggle him between the time spent prepping the place to be photo shoot ready.
Valentines Day happened. I was planning on posting a sassy photo here on the blog but ran out of time. Instead, I found myself enjoying the LEGO Movie : Part 2 with the family. I was down with it. I have a weak spot for kids movies. The next day sucked.
I’m constantly asked to do (miscellaneous task) because I’m better at it.
Too often am I told that I should do something for someone because I’d do a better job. I’m left in the middle of conversations that I have no interest in, feeling like I don’t have the option to decline and being stretched thin. I cried a little out of frustration last night. I won’t get into the details because I’ve already moved past it and I’m working on building up my resolve. Next time, I’ll start telling people to shove it.
I promised myself that after today I was either running away or locking myself up in my room.
Yesterday I ran around completing numerous errands with little time to sit and rest. Today was no different. My day started around 6 am. I was pulled from a peaceful slumber (aka little human talking to his Alexa) and I couldn’t will myself back asleep. The agenda for the day was to attend two birthday parties. One from 9am-11am and the next one from 1pm-3pm. I managed to squeeze in a moment to pick up a table that I purchased from FB marketplace (probably the only reason I haven’t deleted that account.), swooped up @guthrie’s friend for the second party and dropped @kommienezuspadt off at the coffee shop because him working is more important and I must suffer alone.
Upside to the day? I got some rad new furniture that I’m looking to show off later. I also finally beat @tarotbyfergus in 2/3 brawl games. @guthrie’s also gone for a sleepover tonight so I will be taking full advantage of the situation by indulging myself with a long hot bath, followed by a dark themed movie to go along with my bitter heart.
A change for the better....
There were many occasions where I’d start a blog post but then I’d have to put it on hold, promising to pick it up again but falling asleep instead. I exhausted so much of my energy during the day that I began an early sleep schedule, nodding off around midnight. It was a nice change which brought back memories of the old days. I was in bed by midnight, I drank less coffee and ate less meat. Actually, that last one has changed because I’ve switched my diet and I’m going vegetarian.
Only do something for someone if you want to do it, they can bloody well get better at the thing you're better at XD Unless of course they're doing a fair swapsies and will do one of your things that they're better at. Glad you're over whatever it was now and that the mocha was delicious :D
You’re absolutely right! I should just tell them to deal with it and no there are no fair swapsies, I’d be happier if there were. Oh and thank you, my mocha was fantastic!

Yeah I think for people like you who are helpful and handy with things, you should definitely learn to reject people's requests because otherwise it'll never end. I hope it will be a better day for you tomorrow :).
😭 It’s so true. I have a never ending list of things that arrive on my plate because I don’t have the heart to say no. It has been a better day for me today. :) I had some good food and enjoying the coffee shop like usual. I hope you’re day is going well.
