I am now on my new Tuesday schedule: being here for the new cleaning lady. Anna, alternates with free time to do something with or without friends, then picking up Sabrina at 4:30-5:00 on my way to Jessica's for dinner. When Mike finds a new job and starts working again the timing of Sabrina's pick-up and dinner at Jessica's may change -- but that will be fine with me as long as Mike finds something (please lord, let it be soon). In addition, Caroline will be dropping Natalie here today at 4:00 PM so that Daniel can go with Caroline to Morristown Hospital for her sonogram. Natalie is such a help with Sabrina that this will be a pleasure and make life easier for me.
Was a little nervous about the new cleaning lady Anna showing up today. She did the initial cleaning on a Wednesday so today is her first on the every other Tuesday afternoon schedule. Because she is so new working here, I have not yet given her a key and have to be home when she cleans. Originally Anna had said that she planned to come around 12:30-1:00 PM and spend 4 to 4-1/2 hours on the house. This, however would cause a problem with my picking up Sabrina. I could leave Anna here on her own for a little while, go get Sabrina and bring her back to my house, then wait for Anna to finish before I could leave again for Jessica's. But this is a bit convoluted. I asked Anna if she could come earlier and she promised to try but didn't guarantee that this would happen. Well she showed up before 11:30 and is cleaning downstairs as I write this. Thrilled!
My calendar is now booked solid with only dinner on Mondays to myself through my return from my cake decorating class on Friday October 4. After that my calendar is almost as full for another 2 weeks. Hopefully I am not biting off a bigger bite the I can actually chew and swallow. I don't want to be alone so I book my time and then feel tired and a bit overbooked. I am really going to have to find a happy balance at some point.
Haven't heard back from Morristown Hospital so I am assuming that the background check is not yet complete and I won't be working tomorrow. Too bad. Free time makes me desperate to fill up my calendar and in all honesty, I am beginning to feel a bit overbooked at the moment. I even called Lexus first thing today to ask them to move my car appointment up to 8:00 AM from 9:30 AM this coming Thursday. I need the car back by 4:00 so that I can comfortably leave the house by 5-5:15PM to get to the Mature Women's Friends Meetup. I want to drive in my car, use my GPS, and have my car seats for this weekend. If it weren't for the dinner meetup in Spring Valley NY, I would have taken out Natalie's car seat and let them keep the car until next Tuesday. This way I will probably have to reschedule the fix for next week but I will have time to think about whether I want to fix this car or look into getting a new one.
