I am looking forward to spring.  For many reasons, I am looking forward to spring.  I feel like my life will settle down by that point; I am hoping that anyway.

I have been putting in long hours at work lately and work-from-home weekends, which is fine, but exhausting.  Combine that with teaching classes at the gym, playing in a volleyball league, and church choir practices and performances.  I don’t know if I’ve ever been this busy before.  It’s a rare night that I actually go home right after work; most nights lately I’ve been getting home at 8 or later.  I know this will all slow down, but right now my eyes are burning and my brain feels a little foggy.

I don’t want to sound like I’m complaining because I have chosen to do all of this stuff so it’s my own fault, if you will.  Regardless, I’m tired, tired, tired and just hoping to stay above it all and keep myself healthy.  I’ve got a huge April coming up (two weddings, one year wedding anniversary, Easter choir weekend, week-long work open house, and a trip to Puerto Rico!) and I am holding Puerto Rico in my mind as my reward for getting through this very exhausting period.  Usually I look forward to my birthday; this year I couldn’t care less because I actually don’t even have time to think about, let alone celebrate it.  I’m a lame-o birthday celebrator.

That’s all for tonight because I can’t really focus anymore.  I’m watching the Olympics in fast-forward; does that make me a cheater?
