I have been so exhausted these last couple days, thanks to my medication being out of stock yet once again. It is literally tiresome how often this happens, and the utter devastation I go through with withdrawal when I don’t have it. No one cares. Certainly not the pharmacy. I powered through anyway, and some energy came back around lunchtime. I made flat, pathetic pancakes for dinner. They were just sad. I need a better pancake recipe. But… there were none left over, so they couldn’t have been that bad. And so goes another Monday.

Before I even started work today, I went for a run, did the dishes and cleaned the kitchen, took the kids to school, and went to the gym. And then when I got to work, I solved all my problems of the last few months in a moment of sheer enlightenment. (Modesty becomes me.) I will just have to make it through the rest of this class, which I hope will only be a couple more weeks. With luck, I may get my life back soon, and people will love me for it, too.

It took a little over an hour of overtime, but I think I managed to get everything done at work that I needed to before going on vacation next week. There is so much to do and I am barely keeping up, but it is what it is at this point. I’m just happy I got the most important things done. I’m all packed and ready to leave in the morning. It feels weird to have everything done and not be rushing to do it. So this is what happens when you don’t leave everything for the last minute!

Went out to dinner tonight with Cindy and Molly. It’s always good to see them. Pinot was on fire today. He ate half my chocolate bar, which I’d been saving to eat last out of three bars I was given because it was my favorite flavor. Then he escaped the yard and had to be captured and returned by our neighbor, twice (he is now filthy from digging under the fence). And then he dumped a huge load of crap in the kids’ bathroom. It’s the Pinot trifecta. I seriously don’t know where we went wrong with him. Otherwise it was a decent day at work. I don’t feel as rushed or as far behind as last week, but I did spend hours and hours leading calls and it was exhausting. My voice is starting to give out from talking so much. I need to make these classes more interactive and have someone else read stuff once in a while. Or something. In any case, it was a pretty productive day. Now I’m tired.

I am not sure where today went. There was a run, then the gym, then picked up my race materials for Thursday, stopped by the school for a car tag, came home and showered, had breakfast, made a couple octopuses, went to pick up the kids from school (and two of Christina’s friends), updated my running journal, ate dinner, and now here I am, doing my best not to fall asleep on the couch. Tomorrow will likely be just as busy. I am going to attempt to make an apple caramel crumble cheesecake for Thanksgiving. Yeah. We’ll see how it goes.

I previewed my presentation with my VP and got a very positive reaction. Unfortunately he won’t be my VP in another six weeks, but it’s still nice to know he was supportive. Otherwise, just a normal day. Trying to think about what to do this weekend with the family to make the most of our time together before I head to Sunrise for work on Sunday. I asked the internet for ideas and got a few. We’ll see if any of it passes the laser beam eyeball test.

Another Monday in the books. I got some new clothes today, which is always fun, and Robin had a good cheer practice. She did a bunch of back walkover back handsprings on the floor for the first time ever tonight and I worked really, really hard not to make a big deal out of it. Girl has no interest in believing in herself. I’ll just sit quietly by until she comes around. And now it’s late and I need to sleep.

I slept on the couch last night and Billy didn’t even notice. He was making so much noise in his sleep, I couldn’t fall asleep myself, so I went to the office and slept there. I guess I’m so still and quiet when I sleep that it’s just like not being there at all! We had a good laugh about it today.

I spent an awful lot of time in meetings today and I am so exhausted. It is so time for a week off.

I taught Christina how to moon someone today. She thought it was absolutely HILARIOUS. What have I done?

I really wanted to throw every one of these dishes across the room last night. I’ve come up with a chore chart for us to go over as a family as a last ditch effort to more evenly distribute the work around the house. I am on the verge of completely flipping out.
