Long gone days

Remember when you could stay up all night and not feel like a zombie the next day or when you could work a gig from 6am till 4am and then do a gig the next day. I do and I cant do it any more. I don't know if it is the heart attack or the diabetes or just age but Im beat. I did a show starting at 6am and the out lasted till 2:30 then to unload the truck at 3 and finally to bed at 4am. I guess it is just setting in I am old. 46 years old and I cant keep it up like I used to. I guess the fact I can and still want to try to keep on keepin on is a good sign right? Ah well the girls are out at a play date for a while and Im going to get started cooking some soup for dinner !
Ill be better tomorrow I think. Have a good rest of the weekend and Ill check in again soon

What can I say

Im going to get there I swear I will someday just not today. I cant be in 2 places at once. Yes I want to go out with the boys but I have to finish this job first. I don't know how many times I have had to say one of these lines today but I did get out for my walk today and I did find time to take the kids to the Myers fair. I will finish 2 jobs for the state of Delaware tomm. And will even make it to the Dr to have blood drawn. If Im lucky this weekend will be the chance to go out on the motorcycle and get the lawn done too. I think I have finally found some kind of balance. Hope that you all are having a nice spring and that we can talk more later.

Recovery

welcome to the beginning of my attempt to get back on top of my work. For some reason when you have 2 car accidents that is when all the work you had on hold for other reasons i.e. construction delays and rain and cold... They all seem to need to be finished in the next few days along with any other work you might have had on the books. I try to tell my self that that all this work is a good thing and that I should be happy for it all but my other half tells me that I should tell every one to wait their turn and that it was them not me who delayed the start and not my job to make up for lost time on their end. I will compromise on this within my power I will help them to get done asap but that is not to say Ill miss dinners with my kids and lose good and reasonable amounts of sleep to do it.

Mothers Day is this weekend and I am looking forward to being with my folks and seeing my kids give their gifts to their mom. I need the weekend and the time with my family. I hope that you all get to spend time with your loved ones and that your mothers day is a happy one. Ill let you all know if I can stick with the recovery and make life manageable once again
