Lately I've been feeling like I'm only just keeping on top of things. For example, I ran out of checks a couple of months ago. I write one check a month, to EGM for half the rent. So I've been able to procrastinate getting more because I could just get cash for him. But now he's away so I have to send a check for the rent. I finally ordered them, but none too soon. In another case, I spaced getting my sex pills refilled. I managed to pick up the prescription 5 mins before the pharmacy closed on Saturday (it's closed on Sundays). I needed the pills on Sunday.
Other than elevating my stress level, there's not really a problem with only just making it. Nothing has been overdue. The checks will come before I have to post the rent. I got the pills in time. My brother's Christmas gift should arrive before the 25th. To an outside observer, I probably look like I totally have my act together. But I don't feel like I do. I would like to feel all smug and virtuous for efficiently doing all my chores and errands. Oh well.

Hey, in the future... you can miss one day of the pills no problem. Just double up on monday.
Been there. Often.
Yeah, that's a good point Grumpy, but it was going to be a major hassle to get to the pharmacy on Monday because of it's location wrt to my work and the restricted schedule of my carpool buddy's nanny. Also, taking two on the first day of the month usually makes me nauseous.
This post describes me too. It's a very frustrating place to be, especially when the only just is accomplished by mounting piles of non-essential things being ignored until they topple over and bury essential things.
SW, I imagine it's worse for you since you have SO many more responsibilities than I have. Actually, maybe that should make you feel good. If someone like me (i.e. student, no direct reports, no children, home renter not owner, funded) feels this way, then you have EVERY reason to be in the same boat.
I feel like that sometimes too, and yet, as in the comments above, my life isn't all that complicated really. At least the pills are over-the-counter in Spain, so I don't need to worry about this one.
kinda like me? being all on top of it is not all it's cracked up to be. i feel boring and and unspontaneous.
This is the way I always feel about my personal life, and it's worse this time of year.
I am on top of things at work (and was at school) which takes up all my "advanced planning" energy.
what are these "sex pills?" Do they make you feel sexy (j/k)
