Calm During the Storm

It is RAIN and RAIN like crazy.  Everything is flooding.  So much so, people are staying put, canceling plans.

I'm trying to find my calm during this crazy.  Me-made crazy (fostering MiMi) and universe-made crazy (storm).

AND, I have this unexpected change of DOWNSIZING my office to a small desk in a spare bedroom.  To be fair, some of this was my idea.  It's not HORRIBLE, just different ... but guess how well I do different?!?

I have to finish the set-up and reorganize things.  Once that's finished, it will feel better.  What I'm missing right now is the comfort of the desk.  This one is small and nothing feels right.  I'm loosing my view of all MY things.  Pictures, collectables, etc.  This room has no space for most of it.  I'll take a picture when it's set-up (it's in the room we JUST hung the new pictures -- fortunately, they all still work).  I'm using an old dining chair and I might need an actual adjustable desk chair -- I'll give it a go and see if I can get used to it.

It's also "one of those things" that I'm giving up a space that is really important to me so hubby can use a big office occasionally.  (It might be more than occasionally when he gets a job, but for now, it's not.)  It's like sharing MY CAR since it's the "family" vehicle.  I haven't ONCE driven the last 3 cars my hubby has owned.  He drives my car several times a week.  I feel my things are shared -- his are his own.

Today (and probably tomorrow too) is closet organizing day.  Three closets need to be switched around since we are making this change.  In addition, I finally need to organize the 2 linen closets and figure out what should go where -- everything is willy nilly since the move.  The biggest extra closet is in the basement bedroom and it's becoming a catch all.  That needs a quick redo too.

The motorized shade in our bedroom (hubby's idea) broke a week (plus) ago and is mostly in the down position.  The exact reason I didn't want a motorized shade.  They're coming to fix it this afternoon -- good timing since MiMi isn't here.

I have to spend time on the phone with our insurance company.  For some reason they're denying all my claims -- physical, mammogram and radiology reading.  It's about 2K for all of it.  Honestly, this kind of thing is the biggest pain in the butt to fix.

On a plus for the day, I have my coaching call.  Stay tuned ... I have no idea where it's going.

NOT getting a period this month is kind of freaking me out.  I know it's "normal" and I knew it was coming soon, but now that it happened, I'm like WHAT IS GOING ON IN MY WORLD (!!)  This is uncharted territory and also CHANGE (The Change to be exact) and I can't wrap my head around it.

Oh, boy.  Cue a crash and burn coming on.  Sort of kidding, sort of not.  Guess this should be a topic of my coaching call - hah.

Time to get a workout going and SWEAT -- I need a big sweat session.  I can't seem to cool down -- I'm always a little tacky.  The humid weather isn't helping matters.

Stay dry.  Later gators.
