exhaustion

I think my tiredness just punched me in the stomach about 5 minutes ago…  I kinda feel like complete crap.

Unfortunately, my weekends are once again jam-packed through early September.  How do  I tell people that I need a break?  I’m being pulled in multiple directions and I’m sick of it.  I’m having a hard time getting excited about seeing friends because I’m just so unbelievably exhausted.

After last weekend, I’m 99% mentally burnt out (probably built up from the 2 weekends before that).  Thinking takes more time and uses more of my brain battery.  I want to do less of it, but  I’m pretty sure that’s not a good idea.

GIVE ME A BREAK.  Please?

so little time

I’ve been feeling a bit overwhelmed lately.  There’s so much I want to get done this summer, but there’s NO time for everything!  There are so many things chillin’ out on my To Do list and I have no idea how they’ll fit into my schedule between now and Labor Day.

Did I mention that I’d like to spend a weekend doing absolutely nothing?  Unfortunately, that may no longer be possible.

Honestly, I love taking the time to visit friends and family, but I don’t function well without taking time for myself.

I guess I’m in a not-so-interesting situation.  I want to visit friends (and have them visit me), but I want to have some time to myself.  Oh – and let’s not forget that apartment of mine that’s in serious need of TLC.

What ever will I do?

Q&A

Q: Where the hell have I been?

A: Ugh – Life has been one thing RIGHT after the next, leaving me with very little time to blog. Especially now – I’m at work (super early, might I add) and there are a zillion things I need to get done.

Q: If you’re doing so much, what are you slacking on (aside from blogging)?

A: 1. My google reader. Oh gosh – I don’t even want to KNOW how many articles I have to read. I’ll probably have to “Mark all as read” for most entries (minus the blogs, of course).

2. Sleeping.

Q: Anything exciting going on?

A: I’m moving in 4 days. Of course, that means I’m spending a lot of time gathering my stuff and figuruing out how I will get it from point A to point B. And I bought a Wii last weekend :) Sadly, I don’t have much time to play it.

Wrap up: So anyway, I have so much I want to say. I promise I’ll make time for a little something tonight.

intense Mondays

Tomorrow is one of the most important days of work, ever – the day we close our fellowship application. On the surface, it doesn’t sound like this should be all that significant. What makes it significant (in my opinion) is the fact that I will spend most of tomorrow responding to emails and phone calls from last-minute applicants who failed the eligibility quiz (and are blocked access to the rest of the application).

So far, those last minute applicants are getting on my effing nerves. I’ve been dealing with them for the past 4 days and I’m kinda ready to punch a wall.

I have so much to do in the next 24 hours – I will be surprised if I leave work before 8pm. I REALLY need to get to work by 8am; hopefully my phone won’t be ringing off the hook at that hour. I need to start my day in peace.

By the way, I can’t believe tomorrow is December 1st. Where the hell did this year go? I need plans for New Year’s Eve. And Christmas.

Dear World,

I have a gazillion things to figure out/do between now and October 22nd. Please, please, pretty please help me make it to October 23rd in one piece. I promise to work my hardest to get my work done and find an apartment. I guess I’d be okay with a few mental scars and even a few zits on my face, but nothing too serious – like a broken arm, blindness or being admitted to a mental institution. I don’t want to be a hot mess when I see Emily 1, Megan and Peter. I’m sure they’d love me just the same, but I’d rather not press my luck. Thanks a bunch :)

Love, Deva
