Work has been up and down this week, with a lot of high emotions basically since March. I've got that treadmill feeling where all I want to do is find some space to feel caught up and rested, both physically and emotionally. I feel like I'm constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I can relate to that a lot. Skyrocketing fuel prices are affecting our business, and have me nervous about the future. Everyone from individual customers to our big trucker fleet customers want their vehicles serviced, since a tuned engine gets better gas mpg, but no one wants to pay the extra $ when they are already feeling the pinch everywhere from the gas station to the grocery store. Fuel surcharges and higher costs are forcing us to raise our prices at a time when it is already difficult to collect on accounts receivable...
Things are very hectic on the home front too. 14 year old DS's LAX schedule is enough to drive any parent nuts. Then, with his graduation from middle school next month, we are trying to prepare for his school trip to Washington DC, the big dance tonight, and a number of other events. I think 8 year old DS is feeling put-off by all of the attention to his brother, and has been throwing tantrums, making it even more difficult to stay on schedule.
On the personal front, I finally saw the Rheumatologist this week. I have a nodule on my Thyroid. So, today, in the midst of everything else, I have to go to the hospital to have a ton of blood-work, and a sonogram of my Thyroid. He also sent to a Dermatologist yesterday to have a cyst by my ear checked. I wound up having a painful cortisone injection in my face, as well as 2 skin tags near my eye burned off with a laser - OUCH!!!! Then had to rush straight over to DS's LAX game with no makeup on, and 3 huge irritated spots on my face!
Those are most of the major going's on for me right now!
I hope you and your DD have a nice weekend, despite missing your DH.
