For some reason I can’t get myself to sit down and write but I know I have to. There has just been so much going on that I feel overwhelmed by everything that writing gets thrown into the back seat. Not to mention the lack of time that I seem to have. I finally have my bike and registered in my name. So the next logical step would be getting it shipped to Europe. Feeling like I already had this basis covered, from the extensive amount of research and quote getting I had done a month or two earlier, I figured this would be a breeze. Hah! Of course not. Well now that the 3 main shippers I had been relying upon have either told me they can’t ship it or have doubled their rates, I’ve been on a tear to find a reasonable shipper. Apparently they don’t exist. The big boys don’t want to deal with shipping such a small shipment, and the little guys want to charge an arm, leg and even a kidney. So this little chore has taken up as much of my free time as I have.
On top of this, this past weekend was a drunken mess. Two good friends of ours decided to tie the knot on Sunday, and in true fashion the whole weekend became a blur in my memory. From the rehearsal dinner Sat night, to the actual wedding and after party, I don’t think I went more than five hours without a drink in my hand. So productivity was at an all time low. Oh and did I mention that my Monday was spent in bed recovering? Yeah, way to go Mike, we’re only a few weeks and thousands of dollars short of departure. Good thing I’m using my time (and money) wisely.
So in case I haven’t beaten around the point well enough, I am stressed. Bad. To the point where I am struggling to get the tasks at hand accomplished because I’m not focusing but rather being consumed by it all. I had been organized and functional at one time. Being able to itemized a list and take things out one by one. I actually do this for my business partner with Bluu. Build daily punchlists for him to take down, one item at a time. But I am struggling with it myself. I think my biggest problem is switching from having a nice large desk, with a dual monitor setup where everything was spread out before me. Now I am working solely off a laptop from numerous different places, with no set schedule or order. I feel like I need a day build a strong routine that I can hopefully follow. Perhaps Saturday is my day.
Sorry, this post has been almost as disorganized and confusing as I have been as of late. I need to fix this…
