One of Those Days

Ever had one of those days where everything seems to pile up, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and underappreciated? Well, welcome to my today. Between work projects, family obligations, bills, and household tasks, my to-do list is never-ending.

I started my day with the best intentions, determined to tackle my projects. But as soon as I checked one thing off, five more seemed to appear. Just when I finally felt like I was making progress, I got a call from a friend at 6 p.m. with a lovely update—my landlord is coming by tomorrow. Oh, and the lawn needs to be mowed, and the house needs to be spotless.

Now, let’s break this down:

• It’s getting dark.
• I work nights and have been going nonstop all day.
• I just got out of the shower and am getting ready for work.

So, no, I’m not about to mow the lawn at 6 p.m., especially when I’ve been the only one keeping this house clean while others have done… well, nothing.

That said, I’ll be the bigger person and take care of the lawn in the morning after my shift. On the bright side, the floors are swept and mopped, the counters are wiped down, and the living room is finally free of the chaos that once consumed it. The house is cleaner than it was before I moved in, and honestly, I finally feel comfortable in it.

Now, time to get through the rest of the day. Wish me luck!
