Today, I can barely function. I struggle to focus. It is hard to do mostly anything, especially my work. Today is one such day.

Please forgive me if this post is a little disorganized. If the flow makes no sense, I can’t seam to focus well today.

Problems at work usually  have my full attention, but today I just can’t bring myself to figure them out. I can’t seam to offer up solutions to my team. I know they rely on me but I just can’t focus.

I am trying to pull my head out of this… funk? (I guess that is a good word for it.) I hope writing will help.

Distracting Storms

There is a thunderstorm outside. It is holding my attention.  I should be focusing on my work. But the storm is heavy and the winds are blowing in just the correct direction to leak down my chimney.

The leak is an ongoing issue.  A few times a year, when the storms are heavy and the wind blows in just the right direction, the water streams down the bricks and drips onto the mantle. We have tried patching, had the chimney recapped and reroofed the house. But still it leaks. But only a few ounces get in at any time.

But the drip, drip, drip of the water hitting the container on the mantle is distracting me further from my work.

Other Distractions

The battery charger on my cell phone is not working properly. I have it on the charger and it continuously bings indicating that it is restarting the charging process.

The cord is firmly plugged in to both the phone and the outlet. This is not normal. I have to try another cord later. But I think this happened the other day on the other cord. It must be the phone. Right?

I hear a mouse (or something) scrounging around in the pantry. I am not sure what it found, but last week we did find a mouse in an open bag of cereal. That one ended up sealed in the bag out in the trash dumpster. I wonder if this new one is looking for the other. I can help it I to the dumpster if it wants a reunion.

Trying

I try and try to refocus on work. I read chats and scroll through emails. But I still struggle to keep up with the work. The problems are piling up. I try to give what sounds like good advice. But it feels flat to me. I wonder if anything I say will help the team.

And now the alarms are going off – Weather Alert! Flash Flood Warning! Good thing I am not in an area that could flood easily or quickly.

I have to try to make it through the shift  Just a couple more hours and I can wrap up, log off and get some sleep. Hoping that a full sleep session will straighten me out.

Now, the leak is making a mess. I have to do something about it…

Thank you for reading my random thoughts today. Take care everyone.
