Exhausted

Lordy lordy – what a week. Looking back I should have canceled a few of the things I had committed too. The restructuring at work alone has taken its toll and left me scrambling on multiple fronts. On top of that I had house guests for six days in a very small apartment while it was ridiculously hot and humid, I went camping in CT and I’m still trying to make arrangements for my trips before I leave tomorrow.

I made the mistake yesterday of sitting down and taking a breather. I conked out but now there is not enough time. I’m faced with not enough time at work to get the work stuff done and not enough time at home to get the “other” stuff taken care of. Usually I’d have work absorb home or vice versa. I’ve long since given up on having everything the way I’d like to, now it’s just coping so I don’t screw the pooch as they say.

And on top of all this my one hour meeting turned into four hours today and I walked away with a request to attend a critical meeting next month. Except it’s while I’m on vacation but it’s in London – so what’s a quick jaunt over to London during my Paris vacation? I’ve just printed all my confirmations – five different plane tickets, a train ticket and three different hotel reservations. So, really, what’s one more plane ticket and hotel reservation, right? Paris Dublin Glasgow Inverness and London.

It sounds wonderful but I’m already exhausted just trying to figure out how to juggle everything. You do what you can do.
