Round and Round We Go

How is your new year going?   Ours is .... different... busy.... the same... yet different.  That makes total sense, right? 

This week has been weird.  I had nothing at all on my schedule except an NRA Range Safety Officer Course I'm teaching all day Saturday followed by a Meet the Instructor Event at the range Saturday evening.  And yet, it seems there are not enough hours to catch up on all that needs to be done. 

I'm still working my way through a stack of paperwork.  I still have one video left to record and upload for the ISD program for TWAW Shooting Chapters.  Every day there is something to do for 88 Tactical.  And then there are the normal things of life - errands that  need to be ran, the gym, church, cooking dinner, laundry, and a smattering of marketing stuff to do. 

I have made some changes this year.  I'm choosing to let some things ride a while and focusing more on taking care of me.  I do think that accounts for the less time to do other things and while it seems I'm backed up even with "time off".  Maybe I just had no idea how busy I was before??  My job is one that is unpredictable.  Yes, there are classes that I teach that are scheduled well in advance but at any time my phone may ring and change my day entirely. 


I'm the kind of person that likes to get things taken care of immediately, mainly so that I don't forget to do them.  My boss doesn't expect an immediate action, but I do it to keep stuff off my desk.  That has made it hard to get any sort of routine going.  That has changed this year.  Its important to have a solid foundation in life.  Faith, family, and yes, self-care, all will keep me grounded.

Well, enough about me.  How are you holding up in this wild ride of life?
