Eureka!

I'm home from work today.  Uber boss met me at the door this morning to report that we had zero network connectivity.  This makes working hard: no phone, no email, no internet, no files.  Hmmm.  I cleaned up from Saturday's class and we chit-chatted a bit.  I don't think either of us was very disappointed when it was decided that we wouldn't stay.  I do feel bad for the folks who had to stay in the building with nothing to do.  

This presents me with a great opportunity to clean house and prepare for new window installation tomorrow.  It's now 3:30 pm and I haven't done a darn thing!  I'm so annoyed with myself!  Maybe I just needed a quiet day at home, alone.  

I don't think the window installation is happening tomorrow, anyway.  We've been going around and around with the window guy, always some excuse.  I called him today to ask that he figure out a way to get this job done and call me back tonight with a day and time for install with a personal guarantee that it will be done correctly.  I found myself using some of the training (7 Habits, Crucial Conversations) that Uber Boss insists that we get.  After I had calmed down a bit and that realization hit, I felt like yelling Eureka! The other Eureka! I experienced was not giving in to stop for fast food or to pick up that pint of ice cream while I was at the store.  At that time, I was feeling the frustration, but hadn't yet called the window guy and was getting very nervous.  Usually, I would've done both: ice cream and fast food and had a good binge session before going through with the ugly task.  But this time I made the right decision.  I even checked the Zumba! schedule to see if I could get a workout in this afternoon, but there isn't one scheduled.  I would walk in the neighborhood, but my ankle is already bothering me and would only result in more pain later on.  Think I'll just continue to veg on the couch!
