Limitations

I am not doing a very good job of budgeting my energy. I have very little of it lately. By the time I get home from work I have it in me to accomplish maybe 1 thing. Usually this energy is spent walking around the house, looking at all the things I couldn't possibly finish with the energy I have left, and then despairing. Not very productive, is it?

Mr. Renn has been keeping himself way too busy. Apart from working full time at the hardware store, he's taking on all the side-jobs he can get. He's helping a friend with his window-washing business, and he does yard work/home repair for an older man who lives by the store. Between both of us being gone all day and me having no energy when I get home, our little space is getting embarrasingly messy. This is a problem, and I'll tell you why.

I have a little lanyard ID that I'm supposed to wear at work. Because I am an absent-minded, fuzzy-brained pregnant lady I wore it home and misplaced it. Oh the panic that followed. I really really didn't want to pay to replace it, and I could have gotten in big trouble for showing up to work without it (I lost it on Monday night and just found it last night (Wednesday) so I had to lay low at work for two days). There were just too many places I could have put it, and too many piles of stuff to sort through trying to find it. (And too little energy on my behalf I might add).

Luckily the lanyard has been found now, and I hope I am more likely to keep track of it from now on. I don't really trust myself at this point. Somehow, sometime this weekend I've got to do some cleaning!
