Half-way Through The Week: Waiting On Wednesday By Lisa Loeb And Nine Stories




The next best day to Friday for me is Wednesday. The reason for this is because once it’s Wednesday, you get that feeling that half your work load has already been accomplished. The best part is that you get that feeling knowing that you’re half-way through the week and before you know it, it’s break time once more. It makes the last two days bearable knowing that you’re almost there. The feeling that I get when I’m half-way through the week reminds me of the song “Waiting On Wednesday” by Lisa Loeb And Nine Stories.

For all of us, starting the week takes a lot of effort as we call on all our effort to get the lead out of our system as we take the first step on the week’s journey. Tuesday we put a little more effort into it but there is still a lot to do. But when Wednesday comes, we are already going about it full throttle. Thursday is all about the final drafting to see if everything is all right. On Friday, just submit and effort go home feeling good that you’re done.

Of course, there are times when a snag hits the plan. Still, if you can find a way to adjust the plan to fit the situation, then there’s no problem. What is important is that you get it done before the deadline. Well tomorrow is the start of the daily grind. While I work, I’m going to waiting on Wednesday as a sign that I’m almost done.

For Those Who Are Obsessed: Do You Sleep By Lisa Loeb




Ever had those times when there was something that you want to accomplish so bad that it's starting to take over your life? Whether it is a goal that you want to achieve or unfinished matters where you seek closure, you feel that you can't do anything else until it's done. Eventually it you get obsessed with that you become oblivious to everyone else. The only way you get back to normal is by finishing the course that you have charted for yourself. Whenever I get into that mode, the song "Do You Sleep" by Lisa Loeb comes to mind.

For the past three years, I've been working on something that I hope would give my life some stability. I have to admit it hasn't been easy since it takes time for me to learn things so as much as I wanted this to come to fruition, I took my time in learning it. However, my father's passing has added greater sense of urgency to making this thing work. If it doesn't, then I future will really look bleak not only for me but for those around me. That is definitely not an option for me and as a result, I think of nothing else as my thoughts are occupied by it both day and night.

On a positive note, I was able to accomplish one part of the puzzle due to my stubborn resolve. Still there's a lot more to do if I'm going to make this a success. Due to the things that are at stake, I it occupies my thoughts to the point of obsession. I don't want this to go down in flames as I have devoted my heart and soul into it. When and not if I finally accomplish what I have began, only then can I finally loosen up and I hope that day comes soon.
