I should be asleep-it is 12:15 a.m., but my mind is not ready to power down. It's a lovely night for sleeping, though, even though I have to do it on the sofa. No, I'm not in the doghouse with my husband. I am dog-sitting my chocolate lab, Hunter, in the living room downstairs since he is not allowed on our newly refinished hard wood floors upstairs, and he'll whine all night if he is left down here alone. It's like having a baby who sheds.
So, while my mind is alert, I decided to take a look at my calendar through the rest of 2009. Working at Nativity has me planning my time out so far in advance. I concentrated on the week before Christmas, and realized Christmas dinner has to take place after Christmas! These days, calendars rule my world. My lawyer calendar had events on it, but these events were always changing, or getting canceled, or simply being deleted as not worthy of doing (like meetings; lawyers hate meetings).
No longer! The events on my calendar almost always happen when they are supposed to. I don't dread the entries on my calendar anymore, though. I don't fantasize away a court appearance or a deposition that I'm too busy to handle or too bored to prepare for. I generally look forward to my schedule. That's a huge blessing.
Blessing or not, however, I better go to sleep before I decide to organize my calendar through Easter Vigil.
