Espresso

Espresso is made by using hot water delivered by high pressure through coffee grounds which are ground to a fine powder. The result is a concentrated mixture of coffee, which is thicker than your everyday drip coffee. This well-known process, seen at almost every local coffee shop, musters up a little of the insomnia in us all.
Life has felt like a shot of espresso lately. The high pressure days pounded through my beaten body helps produce a concentrated young man in his early career, aided only by drip coffee at his place of employment. Maybe I'm stretching the analogy, but its not far from the truth. Since my appointment time has reached 30 minutes, I've had trouble at times keeping up. Yesterday was just one of those days.
Scheduling is interesting. The day before I have to work, I will take a look at my schedule. Let's say I only have 2 appointments for the next morning. This is comforting but worrisome at the same time. Even though I have an hour break here and there, that is an hour of time when a walk-in could come in. Invariably, this is what happens. Before I know it, my "easy" morning is full and I'm struggling to finish all the work-ups.
When I'm not working, I'm struggling to find time to finish all my other responsibilities. Bills, cleaning, playtime with Forest, shopping, cooking, party planning, websites. The list never seems to end or shorten.
The list is stressful, work is stressful... but I've managed. I feel like I've found my groove... for now.
I hope to find my way back here on a more regular basis, to exchange my thoughts and feelings about life. Thank you for being part of it.
