Day Sixty-Eight: Searching for Time and Inspiration

Lord, this is the week that won't stop smacking me around. Today, there was a serious lack of time. I had a hair appointment this morning, which meant no lunchtime walking in spite of gorgeous weather. Work was slammed, due to the fact that I am packing my office in preparation for new furniture being delivered this weekend--plus, Thursday is always my busiest day. Then there's the kid commitment. One kid is unexpectedly home full time as of this Monday, which means Jason and I are tag-teaming him between work commitments until we figure out our next steps for him. The other kid is doing well, thank goodness, but is still inundated with homework and time-demands. Sometimes, those kids mess up your health goals.

I did manage to go for a walk this evening, but not enough of one to keep the wheels on the bus. I somehow must find a way to do better. Tomorrow will be no better than today--maybe I can make up for things this weekend...
