Apologies and ramblings

I apologize for being MIA lately. It seems like life has completely gotten away from me. Spiraling out of control into a volcano of duties that is about to explode. I’m not trying to make excuses, I have none. I’ve just let things slip.

I can’t believe we are already into April. Where has the year gone already? It just started, I swear! Now, it’s already a quarter of the way gone.

I hate to admit it, but I’ve accomplished nothing of my plans for the year. I know I still have time, but a lot less of it than I had January 1st. It’s time to get busy. I need to buckle down and just do it.

Lucky for me, I’ve been hit with a giant dose of spring fever. My daydreams are abundant. I can’t stay focused on anything. My mind just wanders off on its own at regular intervals. I’ve got plenty of ideas floating around in there. As long as I can keep my mind occupied long enough to jot them down, I should come out of this with a heaping file for the future.

I’m a firm believer in there being a reason for everything. Maybe this down time has been good for me. I sure have been paying attention to my surroundings a lot more lately. I’ve noticed characteristics, personality traits, flaws, biases, and judgments. People are certainly fascinating creatures. Hopefully, all my observational skills will continue, and they will help me with my writing. As long as my memory holds out long enough to find a paper to write it down, that is. I know, I’m supposed to keep a pad and paper close by for these moments, but somehow, mine was removed from my purse and I haven’t replaced it. Bad writer!

Obviously, I have lots of bad habits I need to kick, and soon. I am going to start working on that ASAP. I don’t even have my fingers crossed behind my back. I mean it.

Do you have that problem? What are some of your bad habits? Is spring fever getting you down, or have you experienced it at all this year? Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Spring Fever has begun!

I’ve been working like crazy lately. It was okay when it was cold and ugly outside, but now that the sun has been shining and the temperature’s rising, I’m feeling the fever. It’s really hard to concentrate when I know I could be outside having fun.



This is not a good time to be losing my concentration, that’s for sure. We’re waiting on state to come in and do their annual inspection of our facility. Which really isn’t a big deal. We’re a good home and we provide good care. It’s just that this is my first inspection and I’m nervous. I know I really shouldn’t be, but I am anyway. I tend to worry about stupid things I shouldn’t.

Not only that, but I’m studying to take my Nursing Home Administrator test to get my Administrator’s License. I really don’t want to screw that up. It would mean at least doubling my salary. I could really use that right now. So, fingers crossed that I can get through this in one piece.

I really haven’t given up on my writing, I swear! I’ve just had too much on my plate lately. Once I get through this test, I promise to do better again. Cross my heart. I’m actually excited to get busy with my writing projects, which I haven’t been for quite some time. But, I know for the sake of good writing, I don’t have the ability to do it justice right now. That will change.

So, anyway, spring fever is not helping out my situation at the moment. I keep fantasizing about hopping in my car and driving to somewhere fun. Anywhere but here. I’m a major road trip freak! To me, that’s the best thing in the world. I love to travel.



Have you been feeling the bug? Has spring fever set in for you yet? How do you deal with it? Leave me a comment and let me know!
