Rant #3,738:1, 2, 3 and I Fell

Today is the beginning of a busy week for myself and my family.

My wife has an important doctor's appointment to go to today, and then tomorrow, my son has another part of his assessment--and at the same time, I have another work meeting that I have to attend.

How can i be in two places at once? 

My son has to do the assessment with just his counselor, without my presence.

And since it is taking place in the local library, I will bring my laptop with me, and participate in the meeting there.

I bought cheap headphones at the Dollar Store last week, so while I cannot get it hooked up via Bluetooth, I can plug it into the computer, so I will find a secluded spot in the library, and get this done.

On Wednesday, the guy from the New York State Department of Labor finally got in contact with us, so we have a meeting with him on that morning at the office in Patchogue, which is a good hike for us, but we will be there.

Let's see what he has to say about his version of an assessment.

On Thursday, I have to take my son back and forth to work, and I also have another work meeting in the morning.

Friday, I get a break ... sort of.

We have to do our food shopping on that day, and in the early evening, I will take my son to his weekly basketball scrimmage.

Then comes the weekend--

I will tell you about that later in the week.

And I have to weave my work responsibilities in and out of all of this.

It is good to be busy, but this is a bit much.

Would I rather have absolutely nothing to do?

No, being busy fills up plenty of time, and it keeps me on my toes, figuratively and literally.

But I just know other things are going to face me during the week--

And I still don't think that this is what retirement actually is.

It just can't be.

And then we have the weekend ...

I won't get into that now, but just let's say that I will have plenty to tell you about it later in the week, particularly about Sunday.

And you can take me to the mat on that.

 1, 2, 3 ... .
