It started promptly at 6:30am when my alarm went off; I hated the idea of waking up, and I had to fight the inner demon to get myself out of bed. -And getting out of bed didn't help matters. At all. I sat by the heater and contemplated the day ahead. (Yes, turning the heater on was necessary. It's Springtime in Idaho.) When I was finally warm enough to step away from the heater, I just stood there in front of my closet, staring blankly, completely unable to make a simple choice as to what on earth I ought to wear.
I was fully aware that the whole dragging-of-my-feet-to-get-ready thing had something to do with my subconscious wanting to stay in my pajamas all the livelong day.
But do you know what? Responsibility won out. I chose some clothing at random, got ready for the day, and went to work.
And honestly, my morning was fantastic. I sure do love my clients!
Then it was lunchtime! I love lunchtime!
...Then "after lunch" happened, and I had holes in my day. All afternoon. No-shows and cancellations spread around at random. It made me cranky.
I guess I should have listened to my subconscious, eh? I vowed last night that I'd listen next time my subconscious put up a fight.
Today, the ol' subconscious remained silent. I took that as a good sign.
My first two clients of the morning no-showed. And throughout my day (towards the end of it), I landed myself 2 more no-shows and one cancellation.
It's all been very frustrating unto me.
Moving on to pleasanter subjects. Such as The Weekend Past!
I ended up in Utah with the familia for the weekend (albeit something like 18 hours later than originally intended), and it was fantastic!
Highlights:
*picnicking with the goslings
*chilling with Vance, Abby and Jane
*watching General Conference
*going to the Saturday afternoon session of GC
*seeing Uncle Shawn & Co at the Conference Center
*bumping into Brandi and Kylee in SLC
*spending a bit of time with Seth and Marshall
*going on a walk with Janel to take pictures of
the progress of the BC Temple

I've been reading you for awhile now and you make a lot of trips to Utah, any reason you live in Idaho and visit there? Besides the obvious fact of employment...just curious about this tidbit!
@Rhonda: My family lives in Utah, roughly 2 hours from where I live in Idaho. The only reason I live in Idaho is because of my job: I LOVE IT! I'm a speech therapist at a private practice, and my boss and coworkers are all fantastic. I've considered moving back to UT, but can't seriously consider leaving my job. (Jobs at private practices are hard to come by...) That's all I got. :)
I figured the job was a big part of the reason! The Hubs and I are considering both Idaho and Utah as places to move.
