When you're going through hell...
Jun. 3rd, 2019 12:36 pmjust keep going.
I'm halfway through hell week (two weeks? Month?), and I'm exhausted.
It started last Wednesday, with a conference in Waterloo that my boss was involved with organizing. Naturally, there were also proposals and other documents due, so there was a lot of texting, calls, emails etc to try and get the input we needed.
If I'd been able to have the weekend to mentally prepare for this week, I'd have been fine, but instead we went to Toronto Zoo to celebrate VV's best friend's birthday. Left home at 8:30, picked up Derek's mom, got to the zoo around 10 and walked around until after 6. VV was passed out hard and slept in her clothes.
If we'd had Sunday to recover, I might have been okay, but we got family photos done at 9 am on Sunday and then up to my brother's for the littlest niece's birthday. They've got a pool, and it was warm and VV can swim like a fishie. She was all over, even the deep end without any floaties - my girl is brave!
Today at work is the calm before the storm as our big conference starts tomorrow. I need to be here by 6:30 tomorrow morning, and I'll probably be here until after 9pm. Wednesday is 9ish to 6ish, Thursday is 8ish but we're done at 3. Then Friday we are doing another event to announce/celebrate our $11 million in funding over the next 5 years (and to try and raise an additional $6 mil earmarked for our new building).
The weekend we are theoretically going to Murder Melee, a local SCA fighting event, but I don't know if we'll be up for it - Derek from single parenting all week and me from this crazy conference.
Monday and Tuesday should be normalish - just the usual amount of crazy, but Wednesday I'm off to get my gallbladder removed. I'm planning to work from home Thursday and Friday - hopefully it goes well and I recover quickly.
And then we're in the middle of June.
