Last Sunday, I started two late nights in a row, just because of circumstances, and willingly worked the two shifts daily at the cat boarding kennel where normally I work every Wednesday morning. On Wednesday and Thursday I was getting really worn out and having mini-meltdowns - not just unexpected schedule, but that the kennel owners who are also friends were dealing with the loss of their retirement home.
They were supposed to be retired two years ago...the house construction faced one delay after another, and last Sunday it burnt to the ground. So the two of them were on edge, daughters and a neighbour filling in at the kennel - kind of flying by the pants work, though we knew what we were doing. Most of the time!
Then yesterday, Saturday, a 6 hour computer job. Went back today for another two hours and was running late for two appointments back home here - I was 1/2 hr away. I actually had a meltdown at the job, as I hadn't had a moment for me, to chill, to let my brain relax so I could find a solution to the problem.
TOMORROW morning I start working 3 hours every morning - 9:30 - 12:30 - and I feel I so badly need even half a day to catch up on laundry (still haven't completely put away the batch from last Sunday, and I have another load to wash by now).
I just don't know how I am going to be at the office tomorrow. I might be ok. I might not. It won't be really difficult work.
Just venting here, really. I need a day. Just one day.
