Some of you have asked ... exactly what does this "productive intermission" game plan involve?
Well, it's something resembling a job. =P It isn't technically a job because I'm not technically employed or earning wages. I'm helping out Ernesto in exchange for the purchase of a three-month weight loss program. And it's in Provo, so I get to see Lizzie a few times a week without taking up too much of her free time. Pretty crazy how I got everything I wanted in one fell swoop, huh? =)
I also say "something resembling a job" because it's actually closer to being a mom: no firm job description and no set hours! Today, for example ... I photographed a bunch of kitchen equipment, hauled a few boxes of gelato mix, visited the site of the food court restaurant that's opening soon, set appointments for home improvement estimates, made arrangements for a catered dinner, and wrote some promotional letters & invitations. Then I picked up Lizzie so we could chat about some stuff going on in her life, took her to this GREAT Italian place I know =P, stopped by Ernesto's to coordinate and to pick up my weight loss stuff (yay!!), dropped Liz off on campus, and got home around 7:00. Whew.
Most days I do a bit of packing and/or sorting when I get home. Some days, like today, I just crrrrrrash. After an hour or so, I'm back up and writing the next day's emails.
Tiring? yep. Crazy? oh yeah. Precisely what I need right now? absolutely. =)
