I am always short on time during daytime hours.
I wake up around 5am; because, even with earplugs, I hear Duane get in the shower. If it is a good morning, I head for my home office. I love mornings because the days feel full of promise. By 6am, I have walked and am pumped to accomplish great things, very certain the day will be successfully productive.
One phone call, or email, can dash all my preconceived plans against the wall. An unexpected meeting, a sick grandchild, an errand to run or an accidental running into a friend at the store completely sidetracks me. Somehow, by dinner, only a quarter of what I wanted to accomplish gets done.
