An Early Start Today - It's Going to be a VERY Busy Two Weeks

I awakened early, so took a bit more time for my morning meditation. Of course, that means I'm now in a bit of a rush because today is packed - laundry, grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning. Next week I don't get any days off at all and I have to make sure I'm caught up enough to have meals for the week ahead between today and Friday. 

I'm not fond of missing my days off, and nobody else is 
either. However, this sale is major, and on our most 
popular product. I think/hope we'll have a strong 
response to the sale, and we'll need all hands on deck. 

Our EVERY SWAROVSKI IS ON SALE sale begins on Tuesday and continues through Saturday next week. That's "all hands on deck" time for all of us. Chickie had asked to have Tuesday off to accompany her Mom to Mayo Clinic for a gastrointestinal MRI. Unfortunately, Tuesday is the first day of the sale, and there's no way we're going to be able to do without three people available. So, no. She can't have the day off, and I don't get my Wednesday and Friday and DH doesn't get his Tuesday or Thursday or Saturday (his days are more fluid than Chickie's and mine are). 

In addition to my three loads of laundry, I need to do some 
grocery shopping and other errands today. It'll be a 
busy, busy day. 

I'm taking full advantage of my Wednesday and my Friday days off this week. I'll have to cook ahead, so Friday will be a kitchen day. Today I'll try to get some errands in and work on framing for at least an hour or two. I also have to get some bills paid, and I think I also need to download my next book into my audio headphones for swimming. I think I'm quite close to the conclusion for my current book. 

I use a set of Shokz Open Swim headphones in the 
swimming pool. Swimming without listening to a book 
is really boring to me. I listen to Sirius for my treadmill 
days - love the music for my fast walks. But in the pool, 
I've found a book is the perfect thing to keep me on 
pace and keep the time moving along swiftly. 

So, I've got my first load of laundry in the washer and I'm looking at a desk full of things that have to be done by the end of the day. I'll need to drop by the shop and pick up a couple of things for my framing tasks this afternoon, and I'll make sure the Swarovski sale e-flyer went out as scheduled. No rest for the wicked or the good today - LOL. Have an excellent Wednesday and I'll be back tomorrow morning. Off to the pool! Slava Ukraini.
