The feather.
Last night I was charged, thinking of that feather that's supposed to come along an break the camel's back. And how I'm just waiting for that feather to fall. There just seems to be so much on my plate right now, and I keep just adding one more thing and then one more thing.
As though working to midnight two days a week on the newspaper and getting up at dawn to go sub-teaching isn't enough, I'm also doing nanowrimo, house sitting (which means I have dog walking to add to my schedule and I'm living out of bags), and car troubles (including an accident claim, a battery that's starting to protest, brakes that need fixing, a headlight to replace, and not enough money to do it all). None of this includes the basic day to day work of keeping my life running and little errands that pop up and get in the way.
So again, I'm wondering where that feather is.
Yesterday I was all full of bravado, ready to shout to the heavens, "Bring on the feather! I can take it! Huzzah!" But today I am way to tired for cheers of bravado. All I want to do is curl up into a comfortable position and sleep ...
Wouldn't that be nice?
How about you? Are you waiting for the feather to drop, too?
