Two steps forward, one step back

 


I'm getting productive- or trying to become more productive. I had a productive day yesterday: 

I caught up with grading for my class.

I made appointments: two medical appointments, two insurance appointments, car care appointment, legal appointment, home care appointment, and an appointment THAT AFTERNOON for tree clearing in my yard.

Understand: all these appointments required PHONE CALLS, which I detest.

I got all the documentation arranged for an upcoming BIG PURCHASE.

I was feeling pretty pleased with myself.

The tree clearing was supposed to happen yesterday afternoon. When the guys hadn't showed up by 5:00, I was getting worried. Sundown is happening earlier, you know?

Ultimately, they didn't show, the sun went down, and I texted them we'd have to reschedule for Monday or Tuesday, since today (Thursday) and tomorrow I was booked out of the house a lot.

So I was disappointed- this tree clearing is weighing me down, and I really wanted it DONE already!

So as I am returning from my early morning appointment, I get a text that the tree guy is on his way!

I texted back, when will you be here? Because I have to leave by noon!

He texted, 5 minutes.

He came. He assured me he could get it all cleared before I had to leave.

He's cutting now.

I'm about to jump online for a scheduled meeting with a student. Then head out the door to Ann Arbor for an oil change and checking in with grandkids for Halloween!

Hoping that all times out well!

*UPDATE: All timed out well. Plus, Tree Guy bought 2 items I was about to post to Facebook Marketplace and took them with him!
