Hopefully today marks the end of the insanity at work.
Today I will hand all the leadership their travel folders, put the finishing touches on the powerpoint slides Jeannie needs to update, and my part in this endeavor will be done.
Then I will meet![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
queenofhalves and lordandrei (I will be meeting him for the first time) at my local hangout, and QoH will be staying with me for dinner and overnight. The queenofhalves Potluck is Saturday evening, when I will also have the rare pleasure of seeing lexicat and royalbananafish and meeting more of QoH's amazing friends.
Sunday early afternoon my pal from work and I will go see David Mamet's latest play, Boston Marriage. Sunday evening I'll go out with another old friend for dinner and conversation.
Monday is a holiday at work, and will be devoted to spending time with my daughter.
By the time Tuesday morning rolls around again, I should have recovered from the last few weeks. And with all the directors and VP's in the division out on the road, things should be pretty darn quiet.
And starting tomorrow I am getting back on my weight loss and fitness program. I have been so tired, so stressed, that these last three weeks have been a total loss. I didn't count any points, didn't exercise, and have been through the drive-through five or six times (although that's still a huge improvement over what it used to be). I have been eating Lean Cuisine at work, and almost no quesadillas at home. . . so I guess there has been some overall improvement in my eating habits. I haven't been eating sugar or chips.
Today is payday and so tomorrow I'll go by the Co-op and buy my favorite vitamins. Not having them has had a big impact on my energy. I also need to start drinking water at work again. No water and no vitamins undermines everything else.
And let me add, for the record, that yesterday I received the first thoughtful, meaningful Valentine's card and gifts that I can remember receiving in more than a decade: words and objects not just grabbed from a shelf because they had red hearts on them, but selected and created in specific response to who I am, by someone who took the time to make it special for me because I am important to him.
