Life and all its craziness

Work has gotten the best of me this week. After only being scheduled at Job #2 on Sunday and Friday, I ended up there every day except for Monday. And Job #1 is slightly insane due to staffing levels. Fixes are on the way, but it's going to be rather painful for everyone in the meantime. But I'm looking forward to my new temporary adventure, even if it's been delayed a few weeks.

I'm not scheduled to work this weekend, so I've had two full days to myself. I cancelled my volunteer shift at the zoo just because I have so many other things I need to deal with - grocery shopping, a trip to the pet store to restock on cat food, cleaning the blasted apartment. And I work at Job #2 four out of the next five days as well, so I need to at least try to make a dent. But so far today has been spent on Facebook and now blogging. But I have a list and shortly I hope to start checking things off that list. At least I did get the dishwasher emptied out so I can start filling it all over again.

Yesterday I was having one of those slightly resentful days where I hate having to do everything by myself. Carrying in the groceries and other assundries took 3 trips, which is even worse when it's 90 degrees outside. Then I had to put the new grill together by myself - granted it's a $25 portable one from Target so it didn't take much, but that's not the point. And there is a sink full of dishes - most of which will get dumped into the dishwasher whether they are dish washer safe or not - that need to be dealt with. I've been doing this for 14 years now and it officially sucks. Or maybe it's the idea that someday, hopefully sooner rather than later, I won't HAVE to do it by myself. It's been over a year since William was here, and granted he was only here for about a month, but it was a nice change of pace to not have to do everything by myself all of the time. There is so much work to do between now and then, but hopefully time will go quickly and soon I'll be adjusting to a new way of life.
