dealing
I did a bit of sleep deficit spending this weekend; such is the toll of a busy weekend followed by a week during which rest did not come easy, followed by another busy weekend.
Mostly it was Saturday that did me in. It was really the two-pronged assault of (1) the labor involved in helping a group of young people I’m quite fond pull off a successful fund-raising event featuring decorations, music and a chocolate fountain; and (2), coming to realize that I’m having more difficulty dealing with a particular long-term stressor than I had hoped I would, despite my efforts to just stay the hell out of the way.
In any case, the fund raiser raised a tidy sum of funds that will fund many worthy service projects (I’m really quite proud of the kids for pulling it off, as it was really their show), though caused me to look a bit like a zombie in a stylish three-button suit by 9pm Saturday night. I then spent a bit of Sunday dealing with some of the stress from point (2) in ways I’m not entirely proud of.
So, I’m hoping this week will be a little quieter and give me the chance to catch up on my rest and maybe process some things.
I also have to do a little bit of planning because, things never ever ending, I’m hosting a dinner and games thing on Saturday and I haven’t figured out what I’m cooking yet (the game, though, is largely planned).
