Despite rumours to the contrary, I am alive.....barely
My work schedule has not let up. It's been at least 6 months since I've been able to take a day off. I did take two days at Christmas (Christmas Day and Boxing Day) but only because I was out of town and unable to remotely access my work computer. I'm working 75 - 80 hours a week and over the last few months it has really started to take it's toll. Especially since in the last two months we've realized that we're running out of time and we're no where near being done. Anyways, the excessive hours are not by choice, but only because a multi-million dollar case requires that I (and my colleagues) put in this many hours. In fact, the only reason I don't feel guilty about not working at this very moment is that I've been unable to log into my work computer. Instead of updating my journal I should have gone back to bed to catch up on my sleep and try to get over the plague that I've contracted.
Suffice it to say I've lost touch with my friends and I've had to bail on sports, social and family events. I've missed important occasions in friends and families lives (medical procedures, the birth of child, birthdays, anniversaries etc.) Although, I have thought about them and what they're going through/celebrating (and felt appropriately guilty about not keeping in touch), I just haven't been able to connect. Thank you to those people who understand what my life has become and regularly send me emails to update me on what's going on. Although I haven't had time to respond, I appreciate it.
I'm so far behind in life. In fact, I just got around to taking down our Christmas decorations last week. (A little dusty and inappropriately festive for February).
They tell me there's a light at the end of the tunnel and in two weeks, whether I'm done what I needed to do or not, It'll be over. Thank god!
When its done, I'll have to reconnect with friends and apologize to those I've lost or offended.
If I live through the last few weeks, I'll see you all in March.
