Take a nap, zen fire ze missiles.

As much as I would like to fool myself that I am currently a lady of leisure...I AM STRESSED. With my departure date fast approaching I am feeling frantic about the list of 'to do's' that I am trying to work through. I'm finishing my day today at 7pm...and while that might not seem late...I'm exhausted from the sheer amount of brain activity that is currently required of me!

Things achieved today (from memory because I have deleted them off my list...what would I do without lists):

• Got dressed
  
• Went to the Apple shop to sort 'things' out, found no help there. Managed to half sort 'things' out at home. Not going to go into what 'things' are because I will end up ranting about how annoying it is!
• Had a lunch meeting with a couple of awesome programmers (tres exciting)
• Called hospital to change appointment for after return in June
• Called camera insurance folk
• Called bank to make sure my card doesn't get blocked in LA
• Paid some money to other bank to make sure they stop ringing me
• Resolved business card delivery catastrophe
• Sent amends and related amended imagery to programmer for our site (feels so weird being the client!)
• Wrote to freelancers and compiled details into a nice little file entitled 'freelancers'
• Sorted out Dropbox sharing
• Sorted out RingCentral stuff (absolute nightmare)
• Ate a bagel
  
• Arranged pick up of snake for re-homing (sad times, she is 11 and too old to move across the pond really)
• Wrote back to lots of lovely friends via Facebook & email (it's not a chore...I love them to bits and I want to do it...but also very time consuming!)
• Realised I have OD'd on caffeine (ouch)
  
• Read through half of business plan in progress

It doesn't sound like much. But it is. Also, I had an evening off last night to go to a comedy show (some test pilot for Jason Cook)...it wasn't very good but it meant a late night and a sleep deprived me today. Just to make it more difficult for myself. Resolving to have a bubble bath and get an early night tonight. Must remember to look after self.

ON A GOOD NOTE....

Feeling brilliant about having achieved so much, despite being exhausted. Started compiling schedule for SXSW either yesterday or the day before (yes, my brain is that frazzled)...which is insanely exciting. It also looks like Queens of the Stone Age are playing a random late night gig there at some point. I'm not the most hardcore fan, but I like them and their UK tour sold out in minutes over here...so that's quite nice. Also a ton more good bands. More on that later....bath time.
