I'm Exhausted From Being Exhausted
I know I sort of fell off the face of the planet here and there's a lot of things to blame it on. Summer visitors, irresistable urges to redecorate my apartment stemming from watching way more TLC than I ever should, tax-free weekend, lightning strikes (yea, totally not kidding on that one), and being extremely busy at work. There's also the fact that it's been so incredibly hot here and combining that with how exhausted I am, well, my brain just freezes and refuses to be anywhere near creative.
I could write a really, really, really long entry about everything that's been going on but I think I may just split it up over a few days, because, well, it at least gives me something to write about for an extended period of time, instead of just having one long post then not writing for another month.
So I'm alive and surviving. Work has pretty much been my life. I never wanted it to be like this but we're so short-handed at this point that I'm still working 50-60 work weeks. Part of it is an obligation because I need this job and part of it is because I like my job and I want to do it well and it's never going to be one of those positions for me where I do the minimum amout of work needed to get by. That's just not who I am.
I'll be taking some time off towards the end of the year and I look forward to it more and more every day that goes by.
Other than that, not much else has been going, only because I haven't let it, especially in the past week. I work full eight hour days and then a few hours at night, every night. I had enough time today to take the dog to get his haircut. Now he's throughly pissed off at me and hibernating in his bed. He looks adorable but he's being an asshole. It's like "Fine, see if I take you to get all cleaned up and nice looking so you don't have to hide under five pounds of hair". So much for unconditional love.
I'm already starting to babble a bit so I'm going to head off and finish my work than try and get some rest.
Oh, there are some new pictures up from Flickr. Two hundred and fifteen (about four months worth) to be exact. Go look and have fun. Some of them are pretty!
