It was insane at work today. Too many things needing attention, and of course all are priorities. A lot of what I had to take care of today I don't normally, so progress was slow. I had to go back and review things to make sure I knew what I was doing. Too many more days like today and I'll be ready for the funny farm. I am mentally exhausted. What

mental exhaustion. oh my, that sucks. I think that is what I have right now too. I haven't thought about it until I read your entry. Focus is hard for me. I took yesterday and today off work and may take tomorrow off too.

I hope you feel better soon. This time of year can feel so hectic for some reason.

I am exhausted but also disgusted with the cleanliness (or lack of) in my house! Bad combination.

The difficulty with focus is a side effect of chemo. "Chemo brain". Chemo kills healthy cells as well as cancer cells, so I imagine chemo does quite the number on brain cells. I couldn't string two coherent thoughts together for a while. I still have trouble with multitasking but that too is improving. I found that reading for pleasure after my chemo treatments were over helped my brain start to focus again.
Today was a better day. It was still crazy at work but my co-worker was back to work today so I had help.
Don't stress about your house. I am sure it's not as bad as you think. As long as the board of health doesn't knock at your door your are okay. LOL Do little jobs and break up big ones so you don't wear yourself out.
