violent phlegms

So I've been sickly since Tuesday but at least I'm on drugs. Today I feel better, sound worse, and am at that coughing-stuff-up stage. Blah.

Personal stuff? Work? Overwhelmed still. It just doesn't feel like there's time for everything. Again. And I have people from work looking at my schedule and trying to cram even more into it. What they don't get is that I don't know what the hell I'm doing. I need time to learn my new studies before they overwhelm me (further) with tasks. I'm pretty much feeling immobilized. There's so much to do and it's all "high priority" and instead of doing any of it, I just want to sit here rocking back and forth or maybe curl up in the fetal position.

And then I get this as my quote o’ the day:

Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials. — Lin Yutang

Now could someone just send me an e-mail that lists the non-essentials?

I sure hope you are back to yourself soon. Being sick is never fun. Hopefully the Boyfriend is taking wonderful care of you!

I believe that the non-essentials are basically everything. The only things you HAVE to do in life are breathe and eventually die. Oh, and eat and sleep every once in a while.

hey, would you like to see the nursery?

After a very productive week/weekend, the nursery is just about done. I think the only thing I want to do is whip up a simple padded headboard and Hubby needs to trim down the legs on a little footstool. That's it! Finally! So without further ado... This is what you see when you walk in the door. Too bad the baby won't be able to appreciate it right away. (And I'll apologize right off the bat for having some wonky-colored photographs in this post. I just don't have the energy to fix things. At least on my monitor, the above pic is roughly true-to-life.) Would you like to see that awesome rug a little better? Man, I love it. It was the one splurge for the room but it has such great colors, fun animals and designs, and is round. All my criteria were met. Love. Here's the corner with the crib. I wanted a clean, simple, modern, white crib. I hate to admit it but we ordered it from Wal-Mart. Hey, at least we didn't have to enter an actual store to get it. It was ine...
