Letting the Week Unfold

So I've tried setting goals and making plans and still I am getting nothing done. UFPS (Unfinished Projects) are still winning. I start out with the best of intentions and find myself heading down the road to UFP Hell.  Where am I going wrong?  I have not cleaned up the Studio, I have not finished any projects, and my house is a far cry from being clean.  I am not as depressed this weekend but I am not happy either.  I am just a few sad thought away from tears.

Monday,  I went to work and things went okay, nothing out of the ordinary occurred.  Got home and worked in the garden for a little bit before it got too hot.  This Yankee girl doesn't handle the Hot and Humid South as well as the Cooler Humid North.  But I did sew a little bit.

Tuesday I worked late. I did get some verifications done that way.  Got home after 8:00pm, took a bath, ate some dinner, and went to bed.  Actually knitted about 6 rows before settling down to sleep.

Wednesday, My hubby (Kim) said he was going to the Boughtons so I went grocery shopping after work.  Just as I finished shopping, Hubby calls and says Killian wants to go to scouts. Do I want to ride along?  I hurried home and off we go to Thomasville.  While we are eating at Hong Yips, (great little Chinese buffet that is really reasonable) Kim tells me he has a stress test in the morning.  Now My boss is out of town so I have to be at work and a stress test isn't that big of a deal right? Wrong.

Thursday I go to work late because the kids have to be at school early.  At 10:30am I text Kim to find out how the stress test went and he tells me he hasn't had it yet.  They want to do a more thorough test and that puts him behind a few others.  But they did have the IV in.  He made it through the test but they want to do some follow up tests on Tuesday.  I was a wreck for the rest of the day.  I left early since we were feeding the missionaries and I needed to pick up some stuff.  The cadets ( Killian and TaKayren) needed picked up  as well.   I did sew a little on the quilt strips before dinner.

Friday, I go to work and am bored.  Only one line is running and there isn't much for me to do except come up with a schedule for the next week.  One line is only going to run for 2 days, another line is only having 2 shifts on 1 day.  That leaves me with 3 techs needing hours.  I get a fair schedule worked out and approved.  But as I am getting ready to leave when one of my 2nd shift tech calls and tells me she has jury duty this coming week.  Time to revamp the schedule.   I got it all worked out but I will have to work second shift on Monday.  I got home early, I actually beat my husband home on Friday.  I then worked in the garden for an hour until I was too hot tired and achy.  (My Carpal Tunnel has been acting up) I basically watched TV the rest of the night.  Knitted a couple of rows while watching TV.

Saturday, got up in time to watch the last 2/3 of love of quilting.  They were piecing the drunkard's path with a serger.  So now I need a serger. (anyone else have that compulsion?)  I think I may take a swing at the Drunkard's Path block in the future even without one.  I laid around the rest of the morning.  About noon we had a family council and decided what we were going to work on.  The house is definitely cleaner and I got a start on the boxes of stuff I brought home from my Mom's.  I needed a book shelf for all the genealogy and church books so I went and got that.  And that is where I stalled out.  I didn't get much done the rest of the day. 

So the week is over, I managed to knit about 10-12 rows, straighten up and sweep 1/8 of the studio, sew 1/2 a chevron strip, and stir up desire for more craft equipment and projects.   None of my goals reached. 

This coming week, I know, will be kind of crazy. So I am going to just it unfold, I will craft when and where I can.  Maybe that will help with the depression.  I think sometimes depression comes when we feel like we are spinning our wheels and life is just passing us by.  Maybe getting something done however small should be reward enough.  Forward progress not matter how small is still progress. 

This week's goal - craft when possible and try not to worry about getting anything finished just get. 

Motto - Forward Progress is still Progress.
