Blog entry for:

the manner in which i react to the challenging bits of my day. case in point, this morning i CHOSE to work from home, instead of driving the frustrating 45 to 60 minutes intro an office where the network is down. i hemmed and hawed as i peeked at the traffic updates and decided that today would be a great day to work from home and let the world pass me by, at least for right now. i will try and get an icy, snowy walk in the books, but for now, i am good sitting in my nice warm home and pounding away at my work projects. thanks to more than one trip through the twelve steps, i can stop reacting to the curve ball i get lobbed at me and respond, perhaps in frustrated anger or maybe, when the stars align, in tacit acceptance.
after sweeping my driveway and shoveling my sidewalks, i know that the snow is not done falling yet and i will have to take care of those little tasks, again. i certainly could rail about the unfairness of the weather or whine about how i “must” get my front walk done, to keep i from morphing into a glacial ice rink. what i do “feel” this morning, is acceptance of those facts of life, my house faces northeast and this time of year only gets whatever morning sun that happens to peek out. a bit of proactive snow removal takes the place of back-breaking ice removal in three days.
moving forward into my work projects and trying to figure out why it is failing to run auto-magically is the next piece of frustration i will have to deal with today. the process works when i run it manually and it does “launch” without intervention. it just fails to do what i want it to do. i have lots of time to figure it out, at least right now, so i will post this little ditty and get my head into troubleshooting my work issues. and yes, maybe i can let go of the frustration i feel, do some more research and see what happens.
