Life Happens

A day in the life. This week’s posts have shown what happens when things go according to plan, but:

☀️ Sometimes a new case comes in, everything else falls to the wayside, meetings are moved, and you dig in.

☀️ Sometimes you’re in charge of a document production and you spend two nights up until 3 AM making sure you’ve laid eyes on everything that’s going out.

☀️ Sometimes your brain and your body say, “Not today.” And you lie in bed as late as you can before getting up, rushing out the door, grabbing Starbucks, and sitting at your desk just in time for the first meeting.

☀️ Sometimes you WFH and work in fits and starts so you can do the laundry and dishes, vacuum, and take the dogs out.

☀️ Sometimes you’re up at 515 AM to sneak in a tennis lesson at 630 AM, because that’s when traffic and the calendar allows it to happen most consistently.

☀️ Sometimes your dogs keep you up at night, at 2 AM you move to the couch and doom scroll because you cannot fall asleep.

Life happens to all of us. No human or attorney is immune. As a result, no two days are ever the same.

It was hard for me to get used to, but I’ve learned to ride it out. It truly all comes out in the wash in the end.
