Bad week, better now
I had a bad week. Last week was the dreaded KCAs, which makes my job an increasing pile of hell from early february until the end of March. The event itself was last Saturday, went well, broke all the records, blahblahblah. Back to work Monday, trying to clean up all the piles of nasty that KCA left behind. Tuesday had a meltdown. Not feeling great. I'm having trouble sleeping and having dreams about work. Wednesday out sick. Nap and catch up on Dollhouse. Thursday try again. By the middle of the day, I was having trouble forming words. People kept asking me if I was spaced out on cold medication. I wasn't. My brain was just shutting down in self-defense.
Friday, thankfully, was a day off.
I think most of the badness can be chalked up to exhaustion. I'm feeling a LOT better, after a little rest and a little time away from work. Got new contacts. Got a nifty hook-thingy to hold up the brooms and things in my closet so they're not piled everywhere. Cleaned. Did some laundry. Bought some shoes for Spring. Packed away all the boots.
Went through the backlog of mail I'd been ignoring. Found out that not only are my common charges going up, but I have to pay them twice in April. That didn't help. Having all of my bills paid and six months of paper recycling taken out did.
About two weeks ago I started some indoor gardening to preserve my sanity. (I really think the picture of my plants on my desktop at work was all that got me through the last week before KCA.) I'm wondering how I can find out when the all-important moment happens when 'danger of frost has passed'. I've really never tried outdoor gardening before. I'm tempted to try growing tomatoes or something.
Today is a glorious day out, so I have my windows open to get some fresh air in the house. I may go for a walk outside later.
Tomorrow I have to go back to work. I'm trying to avoid thinking about that just now. ;-)
