I’ll keep it short and sweet: these last seven days have been ass.

I was bed-ridden with a nasty cold last Friday through Monday. And I’m still coughing up some nasty looking stuff. I - and all of my coworkers - have been working excessive hours. I’m responsible for a small team and am trying to hold up morale by the seams while struggling with it myself. People are coming to me and telling me they’re feeling the crunch, and I’ve been told it’s only going to get worse before it gets better. Elsewhere, there is other stuff that is slightly too personal but also not *too* important.

TLDR: Oof!

At least I was able to reward myself a little today. Went out with a good friend and treated myself to what I look forward to most on the weekends (outside of cooking breakfast and other sins of the flesh): driving my car.

I’ve been there. When I worked for Waterton it was like that every day for five years. I wish you the best.

So does this mean you won’t be coming out to inspect my chandeliers Monday?

Ah man. Hopefully more work and stress will at least mean more money!

Work and stress aren’t worth any sort of money.

Yeah, but food and electricity are not free.

I hear you. I’ve had not one but two co-workers go on unplanned leave this past week. I’m having to cover for them at the expense of my own work not being done, and to top it all off my sister has been hospitalized up in Boston so I have her to worry about.

True...but killing/injuring yourself with stress is not a sensible solution to that problem.
