Today I mailed back a dvd to Netflix of a ballet workout I did *once* and then promptly sat at my house for 2 1/2 months. Obviously, I am committed to fitness. :-P
Things are hectic, as usual. Work is a nightmare - I was so busy I forgot to cancel a court reporter who showed up the next day. Le sigh. She said that has happened before and both the girls I work with said they had done that, so it wasn't a huge deal - it was just something I know I could have easily done and feel dumb about.
Our finances are a disaster of epic proportions. I think I can get back on track eventually but times are tough. At least work is so busy I can get overtime, which helps a little.
Mom is now staying in bed most of the time. She called Saturday morning and asked if I was still coming that night and then started to cry and asked if I could come earlier because she doesn't think she can stay by herself. It tore my heart out. I went over there and stayed until Tuesday morning and then some of her friends came during the day and my aunt came that night and has been staying with her. Then tonight I'm going back and staying tomorrow all day and then my brother will come, and then my aunt will come back on Sunday night.
I don't think I am dealing very well - I was so tired I took a nap after work yesterday and then couldn't go back to sleep until 3am. It's not like I'm crying all the time - I just feel ragged around the edges. I don't know how to do all the stuff I need to do and still have down time, and without down time, I am so tired and worn out that I feel like screaming at anyone who comes near me.
Boy, this is an uplifting entry. Hm. Well, I finally watched the Star Trek movie the other day and loved it. I liked the whole "alternate reality" theme, especially since I never watched the original series, so I wasn't sure of the back story. I started the watching The Town the other night, which is good so far. People rag on Ben Affleck, but he is a good actor. I don't really care for the main actress, but she does fit the part. I'm reading the third book in a steampunk series that started with "Changeless" and I like the books a lot. I also got the latest book in the Julia Grey (Gray? doing well with spelling today) and it was awesome.
I've been listening to a Pandora station that is movie soundtracks before I go to sleep. It's calming.
