Yeah, I thought that headline would get some attention.
It’s been busy and crazy as usual, so much so that I’m getting tired of apologizing to all the people I’m not calling back, and for all the projects that remain unfinished because, well, it’s crazy.
Sometimes I do get a bit overwhelmed with life.
I feel like no matter what I do at work I’m always behind. Everyone keeps saying, “That’s just the way the business is…..” and that’s true. I know. But it’s demoralizing at a certain point.
So much needs to be done in HPSland – and while I’d gladly delegate some of this, unfortunately, there are a number of tasks in the functioning of the Network that just can’t be delegated very well. They require some background and understanding that takes time to develop.
And then there’s all the HPS’ers I know right now that are sick. I know of four in the hospital off the top of my head who are extremely ill. My heart just aches sometimes at how far we have to go to the cure, and how long it will likely take to get there.
The other night I came home and crashed. I’m going through one of my fatigue periods right now too. I do pretty well during the day with the help of medication to keep me awake, but when I get home it’s as though some other force takes over my body and I just crash.
I woke up around 9:00 pm. It was late enough that I didn’t really want to eat dinner. But, I was hungry. And I was stressed…..and I was needing to spend a little time with my friend Garcia, as in Cherry Garcia, associate of Ben and Jerry.
I watched a little Dr. Phil with Garcia (not a productive way to fight the diet wars I know) and went back to bed.
I’m not sure which is worse – that the closest thing I’ve had to a date in forever is Dr. Phil and ice cream, or the fact that I just don’t really care.
