Not the best sleeping last night, and a 'just 5 minutes' meeting that turned out to be an hour -- a useful hour, but still rather disappointing in terms of wanting the time to get other things done, such as holiday shopping which is coming up on a deadline. And I must pick up smol son early today for his check-up and overdue flu shot, so it is one of those compressed days, but really, Monday almost always feels too short after the weekend, in part because I refuse to do any of the volunteer things during the weekend unless absolutely necessary, so there is always a pile waiting on Monday morning. Plus I suppose I ought to eat or something such before the doctor -- oh, and after school today I must facilitate/navigate/soothe smol daughter as she tackles her first large project of the school year, which I ought to have made her start a few weeks back, but I didn't due to Thanksgiving, and then spouse got quite sick and we were in maintenance mode for 10 days, and now here she is scrambling to get it all done. She will, I think, but it is a lot of emotional energy helping her organise and figure things out.
All right, enough bemoaning my self-inflicted fate; off to get some food into me before I must go back out into the damp.
