I overbooked myself this past weekend. I knew it, I admitted it, I was annoyed with myself about it, but I had a plan and for once the plan worked and thanks to David’s help and support I was able to make it to all my commitments and enjoyed most of them. At the end of the weekend I was exhausted but pretty happy about how it went.
We’ve got a fairly normal week ahead of us. Liam is following up with the doctor for his 9-month “well check” today; it’s in quotes because his breathing still sounds bad to me, but I think his infections are gone, at least. Meredith woke up happy and independent today, so for that I am very grateful.
I decided to go ahead and attempt week in the life after all, even though I’m intimidated by it. I’m in full-on documentation mode now, and so far so good.
Here’s to a lovely week. :)
