Exhausted

I am exhausted. I am working 12 - 16 hour days - have been for the last 10 days. It looks like I have another week to go, if I live that long. I am working and sleeping.
My house has gone to hell. I've been working from home again for the past week, when my car died on the highway on my way home from work. It was finally fixed today, and I'm $300 poorer. Since the weather has warmed up, the snow melted, and it poured rain last weekend, the dogs have been enjoying a bit of digging in the yard. Yesterday they captured a mole - they were so proud. They come to the house covered with mud. Although I try to make sure everyone knows to towel off the dogs before they come in, sadly it's not always possible. My kitchen is covered with dry muddy dog footprints, and dried mud smears where they lay down. They also mucked up the living room carpet yesterday. It's so depressing. Saturday - on my 1 day off, the house was clean and sparkling. Today - 3 days later - it's a disaster. Today I complained (bitched) that no one else seems to know how to clean up. Another sad but true statement.
I'm going to bed, because I AM EXHAUSTED!

Friday

It's Friday, and the weekend is supposed to be sunny. Tomorrow I am going to Leah and Ty's basketball games in the morning. It's Leah's last game, Ty's second last. I need some recreation! I am swamped at work, and am having trouble getting rid of the stress each night. Last night I even dreamed of work. Sigh.
Joe, Les and I watched the movie - The Time Traveler's Wife last night. I was hoping for some easy going entertainment - but I didn't find it there. The movie was OK, but a bit weird, and I had to pay attention. So - that was a problem.
I'm hoping to work in the yard some in the afternoon - there are lots of sticks to pick up, and other things to clean up. It's supposed to be sunny and 50. Sunday I'll be working. Sigh.

Hello Happy Happy March!

February is over and I say "Good Riddance". It was full of snow and cold and dry noses and earaches and sore throats and hours in my back room working from home, while the space heater blasted and the snow piled up outside my window.
And now lovely lovely March is here! I feel warmer just thinking about it. Julie tells me her hyacinths are peeking out of the ground, and a friend in York, Pa says he has some daffodils coming up. See? It's a wonderful month to be alive!
