A few posts ago I mentioned I have floaters in my eyes. I guess they are just something you learn to live with. Gives me a new perspective on the world around me, that’s for sure!
I’m also finding that my time has floaters as well. Those are days when the usual schedule is somehow redistributed. Not maliciously, not intentionally, but it just happens.
Today was one of those days. This is my usual day off. But three external events, beyond my control, all fall on this day. So, I’m floating with my time off to other days this week. Never the preferred way, but every so often you have what I call a “grad gown day.”
In a former job I served as a registrar. When graduation week came, the squeeze of life became intense. I enjoyed having my kids show up, but they would end up trailing behind my flowing grad gown. Dad would stop and talk with them, but there was always the next thing. So, they learned at that time of year that they were welcome but they would have to run with me.
Now that I’ve had knee surgery I can’t quite run as fast (a sign of old age), but I still have those days where many things converge to just make it busy. And so for today, I’m about to eat supper, then shortly after I will head to the next event. Since this morning I have also been headed to the next event.
And when I return home later tonight I’ll rest a bit and head to bed.
Just one of those floater days!
