{ Methodical Chaos }

I wake up most days around 5:30, sip tea from 6:00 to 6:30 while channel surfing and then in flannel pj's (I have a whole collection), head to my office for a couple of hours of email, blogging (reading and writing), WTW work and general mischief. All of this before my actual job of bookkeeping, which some days can be six hours and others ten. (Have I mentioned I really like what I do? Truly.)

But it's January. January is a quarterly month AND year end...you know all the 1099's and W-2's that arrive in your box in a couple of weeks? Yep, that's me. I'm the worker bee that gets stuff ready for the CPA, the Turbo Tax, the H&R Block people. So, needless to say, I'm a tish busy this time of year. Last night the image of methodical chaos came to mind and I think that aptly describes my life in January. I sit down one client file at a time and methodically go through everything, one layer at a time before declaring the year end books ready for higher inspection and commiting cartridge ink to the forms that must get sent by 4:00January 31st. Radio Nigel plays on as the dawn sheds her early light into my office. Today the pj's are my blue flannels with suns and moons. Who knows? Tomorrow may be my fire engine red with my crochet slippers.
