I'm feeling really overwhelmed and like I don't have enough time to do anything right or take care of anyone properly right now. So I thought it would be interesting to do a 24 hours reconstruction of the past 24, to see if things are crazier than usual or if it's my feelings that are out of whack.
7:30am (yesterday): arrive at work. Catch up on the internets.
8:00 am: Desk. Answer Reference emails, shelve a lot of books (yesterday was "I left books all over the place" day for our patrons), take 2 phone calls from my boss from home, untangle Friday schedule issues, sort financial paperwork.
9:00 am: Brief chitchat with 9am desk shift person. Deal with a couple of work emails. Shelve serials. Have conversation with head of Access and Delivery Services about job I applied for (now not interviewing until mid July), his upcoming vacation, assorted collections issues.
9:45 mr. flea picks me up and we go to therapy.
11:00 done with therapy. Drop by bookstore for present, Whole Foods for cookies, both for "baby" shower (adoption of 4 year old from Ethiopia) for coworker later in the day.
11:30 back at work. Chat with coworker about various web 2.0 service issues, segues into managerial issues. Kick her out so I can pump before lunch date with boss at 12. Accept supply delivery.
12: Boss not here. Email about child care issues for Casper in the fall. Screw around on internets.
12:30: Boss still not here. IM coworker to complain. Break into cookies for party. Do mail run.
1pm: Boss shows up. Takes me to lunch (she had totally forgotten). We chat about work issues and her son, who has an MBA but is living with friends in Vegas trying to make a living day trading (after spending 6 months surfing.) He's my age.
1:45: Shelve serials, deal with traveling serials. Almost done with this week's truck of books.
3:30: Party for coworker. She brings husband and existing son (2, also Ethiopian, ADORABLE.)
4:30: mr. flea picks me up; we go to get kids.
5:15: get home. Play with Casper in her room with the door closed (per her wishes) without the baby for a few minutes. Then tag out child care with mr. flea, who is doing dishes. Simultaneously make hotel reservation for DC visit next month.
6:00: start to work on dinner. I feed baby, mr. flea cooks. Have fight with mr. flea. Feeling very stressed out about making phone calls about child care for Casper.
6:30: baby into bath. mr. flea is still making dinner, Casper with him.
6:45: baby slips in bath and scrapes tummy on spout of baby soap dispenser; cries. Remove baby from bath, comfort him by nursing. He falls asleep. Diaper him and leave him on bed.
7:00: Eat dinner with mr. flea and Casper (Breakfast for dinner: waffles and sausage patties, sausage from Farmer's Market.)
7:30: mr. flea decides to go to the library and work. Call people about child care; reach one, leave one message, email one.
8:00: mr. flea is back, having found Library 1 closed. We check hours of Library 2 and e leaves for there, with car. Attempt to interest Casper in watching So You Think You Can Dance and fail. Play dolls with Casper.
9:00: Get Casper glass of milk, read books.
9:30: Just as Casper is winding down, Dillo cries. Go nurse him. Return to Casper to finish last book. Relatively brief negotiation (for her) about going to sleep. Go to sleep.
10:00 Hear mr. flea come in.
11:00 Dillo cries; go in to my bedroom and stay there.
probably sometime around 1: nurse Dillo
3ish: nurse Dillo
5: Dillo very restless. Mostly awake but clearly wanting to be asleep. After 45 minutes, get him back to sleep at 5:45.
6:11 Wake up. Catch up on internets, take shower, wash bottle parts, drink tea. (Damn, forgot my meds this morning.) mr. flea gets up around 6:30 and starts making waffles.
6:40: Dillo wakes up. Get peed on due to overflowing diaper, change him, get him in high chair eating cheerios, get dressed, pack bag.
7:00: Wake Casper because if I leave without kissing her goodbye she will freak.
7:10: leave house for bus. Read Atul Gawande, Better, on the bus. Get to work at 7:30.
