prosodicI'm working my half day today + one extra hour. I need at least one hour off the phones each day to catch up on just normal client/payroll maintenance stuff that I can't seem to get done otherwise, due to the 497926098136365 interruptions I deal with during normal business hours.
I almost feel guilty for working a half day, knowing how much work I have yet to do. Knowing how behind I'm getting. But I'm in self preservation mode right now. Whatever I have to do to take care of me. And that means being away from the office. Besides, mandatory overtime is a week from tomorrow. That will give me the chance to get caught up.
So...I get off at noon today. Doctor's appointment at 2 so I can finally get this persistent cough/asthma nastiness examined. Which means a prescription. Which means a trip to Target, where I can pick up my SIL's birthday present while I'm waiting for them to give me my drugs. I already have something picked out for her.
Then home. Probably slip into my yoga pants, do a little light housekeeping, and just chill out. I have a DVD I borrowed from Kathy that I've been meaning to watch.
I stayed up later than usual for me last night, finishing Sarah's Key. Very good. Now it's just a matter of articulating my thoughts on it for the book review I have to write. I have another book enroute to me right now, some nonfiction about Queen Elizabeth and Leicester. Something else to feed my Tudors fixation.
I had hoped to get some restful sleep last night, but it wasn't meant to be. Lance slept in the guest room for most of the week. I told him that he needed to come back to our bed, so he did. But unless he's super quiet at night (a rare thing), that generally means I don't sleep well. I don't care so much today, since most of my hours at work will be off the phones (1 hour playing catch up, 2 hours in meeting/training and then my last 2 hours on the phone). I was sleeping pretty well around 4:30 though, when Reece decided to join us in bed. She now thinks it's the weekend because Lance was back in the room. So she decided to initiate our ritual weekend family cuddle time. And thus ended my night's rest.
That's ok. Coffee this morning. I haven't had any all week. And there is nothing to stop me from taking a nap this afternoon, if I please.
