This new job, that is supposed to be only seven hours a day, is going to be my excuse in the "post-a-day" semi-goal.
I am admitting defeat a mere one month in.
Say what you will, but one advantage of being over FU Fifty - is that I am smart enough to know when I'm beaten. No shame in throwing in the towel. No more feeling like I have to prove myself.
Missed a call last night from someone talking about physical therapy for Mom. Guess I need to return that one.
Add it to the list: taxes times two, VA paperwork (before March 1), calling VA regarding direct deposit into the newly set up custodian account (where did I put that paperwork?!), paying her bills, wondering how I'm going to pay mine, working, and sticking in a visit here and there.
I have to get ready for work now.
Sometimes we really want to accomplish certain things but real life has a way of taking over and upsetting our plans. We just have to get over it and get on with life. No shame in that.
ReplyDeleteHey Kim,
ReplyDeleteI think those of us over 50 have the right to change our mind:-) You are doing the right thing by setting limits. That is how we take care of ourselves and thus better equip ourselves to care for those around us.
I hope you like your new job!
