Today was such a waste of a day, and because of that, I'm exhausted and lethargic for nothing. I even skipped the gym because I could hardly keep my eyes open when I left work at 5:00, though now that I'm out of that environment I feel perky enough to have walked a couple of miles. I doubt I'll go back out in the cold and snow to get there, though. Yawn. I think I will grant myself pajamas and a movie before American Idol and House, and say that the morning's shovelling was my exercise for the day.
Because the public schools were closed, our nursery school was closed, which means my playgroup was cancelled, which means I lost 5 hours of productivity. I am so far down the productivity hole that it's a good thing I've already written that bonus money away because otherwise I would be REALLY anxious. Honestly I had to self-talk myself into believing I was never going to get the bonus - that was the only way I was able to stop obsessing about my productivity. Heck, in a perfect world I'd be somewhere else by the time bonuses came around. I ended up billing ONE HOUR today, because on top of the cancelled play group, I had a 1.5 hour appointment cancel, a 1 hour appointment cancel, and a 1 hour appointment no-show me. I'm most concerned about that last one because it was our last appointment. (The kid turns 3 this weekend.) I also had an appointment cancel for tomorrow already. Aie.
So far this week I've had 5 cancelled appointments, 1 cancelled play group, and 1 no-show. Why do I even come to work?
Maybe it's this lack of anything productive that is causing my lethargy. All I know is that my head feels like it's full of rocks. I think it's likely a spot of depression brought about by the snow - 6 inches on Friday and a foot today. I just want to mope around.
