Overbooked

Once again I said yes to too much.

Taking two classes

Working full time in an odd rotation shift (last week I worked 60 hours)

Sole breadwinner

Delivering packs for a local school's backpack program (had to pack them tonight after I turned in a 9-page paper and a video montage plus reading four chapters and taking a quiz).

After school delivery driving 45 minutes to monitor donors at the blood drive, then driving 45 minutes home.

Work on Tuesday from 7 - 3 then finish Thanksgiving shopping at Costco (!)

Wednesday therapy appointment

Thursday Thanksgiving meal

and then finally. Friday comes with nothing more to do but catch up the week's cleaning and school work and all the other projects I expected to accomplish over this looooong break.

Sunday - a treat! a massage! then driving two hours to my mom's, spending the night, and then a meeting in Tacoma and then driving home (2.5 hours) and then back to work Tuesday night.

why? why can't I say no? I simply overwhelm myself and end up in exhaustion. Perhaps it is an odd addiction. Some people drink to forget their misery, I over exert myself to ignore my real problems.

My goal this whole week is to not do anything that isn't already on my schedule. No more "sure" no more "sounds great" - I need to finish these initial projects before moving on.
