Heave, ho. . .

It's always rough when Lyric is here.

The schedule is tight, the list is long, the workload heavy. Just getting through a stack of eleven movies would be hard enough. . .but then there's the pressure of working in a trip to the theater, several stops at Sonic, shopping online from our two laptops on the featherbed, naps once we've shopped 'til we've dropped, reading aloud from two different books, updating and commenting on all the blogs, and. . .well, you can see the stress we're under. It makes me feel really bad when Lyric so desperately needs a real break from work. I know she could use sleeping in for a few of these mornings, but if we're not up and around by 11 we simply cannot get everything done.

I keep promising her that the next "vacation" will really be restful and "laid back" but it never seems to happen. I take full responsibility and despite the constant obstacles, I'll keep trying. Next time we'll sleep late and just "chill". . .
