I haven’t posted much this week because it’s been a long, long week. I am feeling pretty great actually. The funny thing about feeling much more “normal” is that the instant you feel good again, everyone expects that your life is instantly “normal” again.
The reality is I’ve got a huge backlog of things that need to be done. This week I’ve worked 12 to 14 hours a day just about every day. This is a sweet kind of victory in that a few weeks ago I was struggling to make it through an eight-hour work day because of the fatigue. The only downside is I would have much rather spent those extra productive hours on HPS-related projects. But, a girl’s got to pay the bills – so the magazine won out. We’re supposed to go to press Monday, although I feel it will probably be more like Tuesday.
It’s been a stressful week too in that so much is up in the air at work right now. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to blog about that, and when I can you’ll understand why I’ve been so edgy.
Lastly, it’s been a tough week in the world of HPS. Several of my HPS friends have had a rough week, and I haven’t been able to be there for them in the way that I want to be because of work. There isn’t much I can do for their health concerns, but I can listen. Sometimes just having someone who can listen without judgment, without the need to fix the unfixable, is what we need. But this week I haven’t even been able to do that.
