Got a few things cleared yesterday inc chasing up 2 invoices. Today I am going to a networking breakfast that I wish I could duck but I need to create profile. I will then go to madhouse and try to avoid meltdown. I have not even contemplated packing, I am tired, i am headachey, I need to do some other client stuff and visit my mother. I leave at 6 on Saturday morning and will be bringing my laptop with me and will hope to get on top of stuff while beyond the reach of the nightmare. Anyhow, need to be out the door in 20 mins and need to sort out my hair!
Today I am grateful for

And today's inspirational thought comes from the little engine that could
"I know I can, I know I can, I know I can".
Had to spend ridiculous amounts of time getting payroll over the line at the client. Stayed until 6.15, picked up my by then wet husband and got home. Had gone to bakery between network breakfast and client and picked up supplies for mother. Grabbed some toast for dinner preparing to go back to client and pass out pay cheques. Brother arrived with card for wedding gift for overseas niece. He sat and burbled on and on. Got rid of him, spent an hour at client then forgot my phone, had to go back and got to mother's around half ten. She just kept talking and talking and finding something else to say while telling me that I looked tired.
Crawled into bed with a cuppa from DH when I got home. I was also able to pick up an outstanding cheque for me that had been signed!
So, now I need to get ready and head to various places for this client before calling in and sorting out their petty cash, etc along with a bank lodgement.
I then need to try and shop for some books that my overseas sis has asked for. Bin collection day for general and food waste so it's good to know there will be nothing festering while we're away. DH has already taken care of that. My head is pickled, I'm worried that I have forgotten something major but so long as it isn't to lock doors and windows, most other things are manageable though I do need to get a prescription filled.
If anyone wonders onto here today, please please remind me of this!
Anyhow, gotta get motoring. Emails to send before I head to the nightmare client that does not have internet!
Today I am grateful for
The whoopsied bakery pancakes that I had for breakfast
I know this sounds mean but having gotten the visit to my mother off my to do list

OMG it sounds totally manic :eek:
You need a break....... REMEMBER THE PRESCRIPTION!!I Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy1 -
What Crystal said only I'm too late for the prescription reminder!:eek:
I do hope you managed to do everything you wanted and have a good trip tomorrow. As you say at least you'll be out of reach from the madness!Finally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟
