the middle of crazy
Back to work 100% after the holiday season and I’m stuck right smack dab in the middle of crazy. Now crazy can mean several things yanno. I’m not talking about the brain-sick psycho that posts cryptic messages that no one understands or cares to understand — or even the person so possessed with enthusiasm they are crazy with excitement. I’m talking crazy, busy, nuts — as coined by speaker, Victoria Labalme. And to be honest, I’m LOVING it!
Busy forces encourages me to get better organized! I grew up in a household of envelopes. Mom would make envelopes for every monthly expense, and then each week she would put money into those envelopes. The one I remember most vividly was named “barn”. Each week, $10 bucks went into that envelope for horse feed, hay, etc. That one was pretty important because it made it possible for me to entertain friends while wearing sexy white knee-socks.
Although I like to blame my lack of organizational skills on my artistic personality, and the fact that I focus on the big picture rather than trivial details — I really think I am STILL rebelling against those damned envelopes. So as I struggle through this first week back to work after a wonderfully long holiday, I am reminded of the fact that coffee is the second most traded commodity on earth. Oil is obviously overrated. Happy New Year y’all!
