Soooo freakin' tired I am.
Exhausted, in fact, and thinking in yoda-syntax.
I worked 14 hours on Wednesday and 12 hours yesterday. And I have so much crap left to do yet today.
*whimper*
I had to disappoint some really sweet clients this morning. And that was rough. They are a really nice older couple from a neighboring state. We had a hearing yesterday, and it did not go well. We lost. And the client's legal avenues are about exhausted. They could appeal, but I had to tell them today that I didn't advise going any further since it would just cost them more money, cause more heartache and probably still be unsuccessful.
It made me sad to have to tell them that. But I feel better for having been honest with them since they've had a couple of other attorneys in this matter and in another matter who weren't fully up front with them.
So, all I really want to do right now is take a nap. And I have hours of work sitting on my desk. I should be working instead of blogging. But I'll get to it in a minute. I need a few minutes to decompress from that last client meeting.
Rob and I are going to have some fun this weekend though. We are going to the Styx/REO Speedwagon/Foreigner concert. Ohhh yeah. 80s fest here come!!!!! Woo! Styx is one of my all-time favorite bands. (3 faves, in no particular order, for those who are wondering - Eagles, Melissa Etheridge, Styx).
We saw Styx in Tallahassee a few years ago. They were quite good. I was disappointed that Dennis DeYoung wasn't there, and he is still apparently not touring with the band. But the guy they got to replace him is pretty damn good, too.
Well. I am going to get some water, go outside and take a few deep breaths of the nice cool fall air, and then get back to work.
