Today is a day that I could use the invigorating sunshine to lift my spirit and energy. Life-juggling seems to be my lot in life at the moment and it is draining.

Last evening’s private event at Schuster Center was a nice affair but with little excitement for the two of us who served as house managers.

I was home and in bed by 9:15 PM, rising only to let the pooches out to potty. I woke several times throughout the night, believing it to be close to 6 AM; however, I was surprised and relieved to see 11:25 PM, 1:00 AM, and 4:15 AM.

We were in a pinch for coverage this morning, so I agreed to come in. Today was to be my first free day since April 30^th. I immediately regretted agreeing to pinch-hitting this morning, but we are a team and I always remember that I may need coverage for myself. Now, Friday is to be my only day off with my next free day on Tuesday, May 21^st. I feel my body grinding against the strain.

Chief went out to potty this morning but did not touch his food. He’s very alert and seems comfortable. This impending decision is overwhelming. I have numerous other heavy items I am currently juggling with little time to consider planning as I work and move about on No. 17. I am finding my optimism and joy on the decline.

It is time to move on with my day so that I can nudge myself to upload positivity.

Make it a great day!
