Basically a repeat of the "All the Hats" post, X 1000. Work has kicked my ass. I am barely keeping from drowning. Taking on a clinical director role in the middle of "unprecedented times", plus dealing with a huge backlog of patients and patient care issues, working on several simultaneous papers/writing groups, and going up for promotion is A LOT.
Plus my kids started camp---which is great! they like it and are busy and tired out--but its new and they are clingy after. And we are starting to casually look at houses (we need a little more space, we've realized, as we are all on top of each other all the damn time). And G constantly wants to TALK ABOUT IT (houses), while I'm trying to compartmentalize so I don't lose my mind. And my MIL is having health issues, and my parents are worrying me. Oh and we had to do our taxes.
So...I may have snapped at 1-5 people last week. I just can't do it all and be it all with a smile on my face.
I'm writing this during a no-show televisit even though I should be revising a paper because...I just can't. I took a couple of weeks off from working out, and pretty much did NOTHING this weekend. It was needed. I woke up today with renewed energy & was ready to tackle my plans...and then a million little issues came up like those tiny but bite-y flies, and the motivation is gone. One more patient, an hour on the paper, and I can take a break.
I hear you. Would love another post on kids in camp...
ReplyDeleteI am really, really hoping that there will be camp here in August. I know that it is not zero-risk but I cannot stay home not working forever!
ReplyDeleteSneaker: Everything seems to be so much more intense at work (and I'm in tech) - more work but even more focus which is nuts because life is requiring so much more for everyday things. And adding in your new role and everything else . . I hear you.
