Big Battles are Kickin' My Ass

Gotta be honest. This is one tough week at work. I've got a bunch of really REALLY tight deadlines, which cannot be moved or missed.

And I don't like to miss deadlines. I take that stuff pretty damned seriously.

So, I've been kind of....tense. Yeah, that's the word. Tense.

It all started Monday. Well, I guess that was a stupid thing to say. Of COURSE the week started on Monday. Shesh. Anyway - Monday was rough. Still flyin' from the weekend, it was pretty tough to focus. But I made my To Do List and started working through it.

Now, during the course of a normal work week I've got some Big Battles to fight and lots of what I call Piddly Things to deal with. The Piddly Things balance out the Big Battles. Right now? Yeah, all Battles. All Day. Every Day.

And the strain is starting to show. Because, again I need to point out, I don't miss deadlines.

So yesterday I had what could be called a meltdown. Four meltdowns actually. My neck is so tight right now I can barely move my head. I won two of the four, and the other two are going in my favor.

I lost track of how many times I had to say "This is what I'm gonna need for you to do....". That's never really a good sign.

I get home for work so tired I fall asleep, still in my work clothes, curled up on the damned love seat. THAT'S real good for that neck thing I was talkin' about.

I haven't done a damned thing after work but fall asleep in the living room and eventually move into my bedplace. Dinner? Are you kidding? Yeah, that's why I have snack bars. And to be honest, even talking can be an issue. Yesterday I seem to have forgotten how to speak English. Really. Oh, I could still swear, but normal cognitive sentences? Yeah, not so good with those.

Looking forward - Sunday is Mother's Day. Holy Crap. I had forgotten and actually made plans for the weekend. Those are now cancelled and flowers have been ordered. Hell, I even ordered some for myself. They're on sale, and normally Mother's Day is a pretty bad day for me, so I figured I'd try something different this year. Sunday I'll head to Mama Vi's for the afternoon.

And the next two weeks are not lookin' any different. Well, with the exception of that whole MD thing. But you know what I mean. M - F will be balls to the walls. Every day, all day.

So what exactly am I getting at? Nothing more than.....I'm flippin' exhausted. If I owe you an email, I swear I'll get you this weekend. If I owe you a phone call? Thank you for calling, we'll catch up soon, I promise. As for everything else.....Soon.
