My two day windstorm of activity and responsiblity came to an abrupt end at 9pm tonight.

I did it.

I will never again book two solid days of staff training that 4o people commited to without checking my planner and realizing when I did consult my planner that it was spring break and my husband was out of town. At least I hope I will never do this again.

I phoned my left brained friend to put it in perspective for me. I call on her alot, for her logic, and ability to reign me in. Caringly, because she's my friend. I have a whole brain, but sometimes I swear it is all crammed on the right side of my head.

I phone her so that she will tell me what I need to hear. That I have the ability to have a smooth life, that my exploding and chirping laundry room will be managed tommorow, and that I am not an idiot for not looking in my planner prior to booking two days of my life. When I get to the part of my day when even the electronics and appliances wanted a piece of me, I sense a shift. Friends can sense things, even over the phone.

And I get a darn good chuckle as my friend shares this story:

She was home alone the other evening and her house was peacefully quiet. As she was reading her book, she heard a voice. She didn't hear the words, but definately heard a human voice.

My response to this would have been to shrug my shoulders and continue to read. Whatever.

Not so my left brained friend. She puts that book down and immediately knows she heard something and there was a perfectly logical explaination for this.. So she waited. And listened to the clock ticking and the furnace cut in and out , and the wind in the trees.

And she heard it again.
Softly, quickly and definately human. The hunt was on.

And she did it. She found a perfectly logical explanation. After tracking that voice down for two hours.

Her CO2 dectector. Gently reminding her in a human voice that the battery was low.

I do believe my left brained friend has flashes of right brained lunacy.


Aside: I look forward to catching up to y'all tommorow.
