The One In Which She Talks About The Weather

Other things pounding the W&OD trail besides my running shoe-clad feet this morning: small bits of hail. It was so strange-it was windy but mild initially and semi-sunny, but halfway through my run the temperature dropped and the occasional drops of rain turned hard. There wasn't a ton of it, but I contemplated the strangeness of it as I completed my run.

I needed a stressbreaker after yesterday. I have a team of clients that consistently escalate to my boss and my boss' boss. We were cohesive in our response, but now I'm starting to doubt the decision to just let someone else up the chain respond. I wasn't thinking and I was so slammed with work that I didn't think through the potential impacts. I trust there will many escalations in the future-and many times to prove myself.

This week was otherwise exhausting as well-The Gov was sick on Sunday and Monday, then Conan caught whatever he had. Of course, mommies hardly ever get sick. It's either that, or our bodies suppress full-fledged symptoms. So we walk around feeling ill and exhausted-but still well enough to tend to everyone else!

I'm working on a crocheted wire and bead bracelet-I can't wait until it's completed, but it's really working my hands. I know now why I'd been taking a break from jewelry-making: I wanted to save my hands. They get so sore when working with large gauge wire. I'm definitely more of a paper crafts and jewelry (with a little bit of sewing) type of crafty gal, but at the very least it's nice to learn some basic crochet stitches.
