resistance, though futile, is also silly

it's late on a day where i've ran late all day long.  except to the noon webinar - i'm the host for the noon webinar and i can't be late.

the pugs snore and curtis stone is talking about food on the television.  not that i'm really paying attention.  the blinds are open to the backyard and as sit here at the computer, i wonder if the neighbors across the viaduct wonder about me sitting here in front on the laptop.  i wonder if they wonder what i'm typing or doing.  i would wonder about them if they sat where i could see them. 

i need to go to bed.  somehow this morning i turned over and turned off my alarm.  when i woke up at 7:30 (i have to be at work at 8:00) i couldn't remember hearing the alarm - a tiny bit of panic set in.  i've been reading my latest book 2-3 pages at a time, barely able to hold my eyes open.  and still i sit here listening to lizzie snore a bit more loudly. 

why am i resisting?  probably because it means a rinse and repeat of today, only on thursday.  life at work has been spent mostly this week on the phone clearing up issues - the easy stuff already cleared up.  i wrote a giant issues list and left it to greet me in the morning.  i also have to finish my remarks for my very first national speaking engagement - i'm kinda freaking out about that.  fortunately it's one of three panel sessions all scheduled at the same time.  maybe no one will pick my panel discussion!  i'm excited and terrified all at the same time.  oh, before you ask - the exciting title of the panel discussion is "successful implementation of your i-apd."

  2. Oh, you'll do fabulous! Too bad we couldn't all be there in the audience ... I guess the thought that we'll be there in spirit, will have to do! :)

  3. Rinse and repeats are good. Easy and flowing and quiet. They're better than a bad perm day?

    And I have a feeling you're going to have a full-house at your panel discussion :) Very timely topic.

    and i like the "wash and repeat" description so much better than what we use here...."we are in a freaking rut"....."let's do something exciting"

  5. I live in fear of sleeping in like that and it has happened more than I want to admit. Good luck on the speaking thing. Scary for me for sure. You will be GREAT!

  8. I know that feeling, so tired, yet fighting the idea of turning off the light and going to sleep. It happens to me too, all too often. It is a strange feeling, quite illogical. I hope you were able to sleep well.

    Happy Cinco de Mayo!

  10. I am in such a rut myself ...maybe that is why I haven't been able to sleep at night either!

    I am impressed with anyone who is capable of public speaking...:)

  13. My goal while in Italy this time is to get a picture as good as this of a poppy. Of course I am working with a less qualified photographer, and a point and click camera.
    Porca Miseria.
    Maybe I should just enjoy the fields of poppies and not stress over the single shot.
    You are a friday's favorite for sure :-)
