Do what you can (according to Lao Tzu)

 
Fill your bowl to the brim, and it will spill.
Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt.
Chase after money and security and your heart will never unclench.
Care about people's approval and you will be their prisoner.

Do your work, and step back.
The only path to serenity.

Lao Tzu

(A.k.a. my new philosophy for my life)

Today, we're driving to my in-laws' to pick up Son#1, whom I have missed terribly.
And I'm cleaning the house for the cleaner who is coming tomorrow.
Stupidity, I know.
But I have my pride.

I'm pooped - I only fell asleep at 2h30 this morning.
Sigh.
