Today was looking pretty stressful on the pages of my appointment book. I realized at the last moment that I only had half my homework done for my class, so last night I improvised and got something somewhat completed. But I didn’t feel good about it. Also scheduled today was the first meeting for our 501 group with our client. As of this morning we were ill prepared for that as well.

Consequently I didn’t sleep well last night, probably should have just given up and stayed awake to revise homework or prepare for the interview, but instead I tossed and turned and worried.
So this morning it was with heavy eyelids that I made my way south on US 23 in the dark and rain. I left early more because I was awake early than any hope to use additional time to recify anything. Turns out leaving early added to the stress as the school buses were out, and kids were walking everywhere in the cold dark early morning hours. That in combination with the deer running added to the anxiety of the trip.

Finally getting off the freeway in Ann Arbor I headed west on Plymouth Rd. It was raining behind me, but way up high, over the Plymouth water tower was a beautiful rainbow. I took that as a sign that maybe today wouldn’t be as bad as I imagined it would be.

And…the homework got turned in. The interview took on a life of it’s own and preparing wouldn’t have made it any better. And things were ok.

Now, if that rainbow could just read these articles for me and figure out the questions that need to be asked for 504 AND read the client information we received today AND make the snacks for 647 I’d be in great shape for tomorrow!
