Befuddled

As usual, I'm trying to figure out where to start.

Good Stuff:
- Ran twice. Couch To 5K seems to be the way to go for me. You jog a little and walk a little, and it gradually increases the run time. I'm running almost a mile now, just not all at once. Next week the runs will be longer.
- Got my eyes checked. They're the same as last year.
- After my eye appointment, I went across the street to the gift shop I applied to before I left for Mom's to follow up on my application. Eric said they didn't call, and it's a good thing I stopped in because she had tried to call. She had a few minutes and so did I, so we did an impromptu interview. It's the first time I've interviewed for a job in jeans and flip flops, but it went pretty well. We know each other superficially because I shop there sometimes. This isn't anything to get excited about, just a holiday gig, but it will get me a little pocket money and an employee discount.
- Got some story work done, more writing than telling. Not enough as far as I'm concerned, but a little is better than nothing.
- Froze the corn Mom sent home with me. In case you're wondering, 1 ear of corn is roughly 1/2 cup. It was the easiest preservation process I've come across yet.

Not So Good Stuff:
- I have to tell stories Wednesday and I don't know yet which ones to tell. This was sort of the point of setting up regular tellings--to force me to learn stories more quickly. It was better in theory than in practice.
- I've been behind the 8 ball all week. Laundry has piled up, dishes have gotten out of control, and I only have a couple more weeks before all hell breaks loose again. Every Saturday and most of the Sundays in September are booked. Yep, the worst of the heat should be done and it's almost Scottish Games season again.
- My concentration is shot. Sleep isn't helping, and neither is caffeine. And I have stories to learn! And another one to write! Aah!

This Week:
- Laundry and house work.
- Tell stories and hope, if I have to recycle one or two, that they've forgotten I told them already.
- Run.
- Write.

Yeah, I think that's it.

Ugh! Sounds like a tough week -- but typical post-vacation (or time away from home) stress. You'll get it worked through and come out shining on the other end.
