I was just thinking what to write and actually I don’t want to spend much time as it is late already, as usual, but then I realized that the end of my day actually is pretty okay, as I started the day very stressed and right now I feel kind of relaxed, except that it is pretty late and I still didn’t finish all my daily things yet.
So looking back this morning I was completely in panic as I had planned to deal with the injury of one of our dogs, but everything I tried at first didn’t work. As yesterday I asked a friend if he would be willing to bring us to a vet and I thought he would do so. But this morning he said he couldn’t manage it. Then I called another friend who didn’t answer the phone. And another one who said she was not nearby and neither was anyone else from her family. And my partner was also not helping as he presumed I could manage it myself, should manage it myself, which of course I could and can, but these kind of things are really annoying to me and can really bring me down emotionally. And I guess hardly anybody would understand, but the good thing I think was that this time I was able to speak out how these type of things work for me, which I normally don’t do. So one of the first good things, as per one of the most famous quotes of Napoleon Hill. In the mean time one of my friends suggested that I could just ask the vet to do a house call, which I had also thought about already of course. But in the state of mind I was in the last few days about this dog issue that just seemed very difficult to achieve, like finding the phone number and calling. But yes, I did try to call the vet, but in the mean time it was lunch time and he didn’t answer the phone. So I was in panic again, as I still hadn’t arranged anything and the dog issue was on my daily to-do list, which put a lot of pressure on me.
Then finally I realized that the other two dogs also have some issues that need to be checked and that it doesn’t make sense to arrange a taxi to save cost by going to the vet instead of the other way around. So at that moment I kind of realized, and decided, that it would indeed be best to ask the vet to come over and not go there. And I realized it was already late, so he may not be able to make it today, which would violate my habit of doing everything on my to-do list. But I also need to be flexible and practical, so I decided to surrender and just see what would happen without too much control from my side.
So then, after lunch, I just called the vet, who indeed indicated that this afternoon would not work for him, but tomorrow morning would be okay. And, with everything that happened before, I decided to just give in, just follow what The Universe apparently had in mind for me (and the dog(s))., which released a lot of pressure.
Then, in the mean time, I had found out that one of my computers had stopped again. So I decided to start a disk check and do something else in between,only to find out that the computer stayed offline much longer than I anticipated. And to find out that it had started again, but still had an issue, something that also took a while for me to realize. So until the end of the afternoon I hadn’t done much, except going from very stressful to a bit more relaxed. But no work done, no progress on DoctorsConnect, something that was a bit over due and also something I just was eager to do.
But finally I managed to get everything running again, even though not properly checked, and this evening I made some pretty progress with DoctorsConnect. And in the mean time I had also fixed some things in the house that were long overdue, as I had too much time as my main development server was not available and the spare one not properly installed and working either.
So looking back this day was actually pretty okay as I started very, very stressed only to find out that right now I am pretty relaxed and on schedule, where I made some important progress in communication with my partner and some things in the house fixed.
So not bad,eh?
