Pure As the Driven Slush: Heather Corinna's Journal and Diary, Online since 1999
February 20th, 2008

(So sorry I haven’t kept up with the photo blogging or, in absence of such, any writing here over the last couple of weeks. The short answer — which is also the long answer — is that I am simply working too many jobs. That’s not going to change any time even remotely soon, nor is my workload going to decrease anywhere, but I am hoping at my body and mind will at least start adjusting better soon so I have some time and brainpower back to get back here. As it stands now, on clinic days I come home, shove food in my face, stare at a wall or a screen for just a little bit and pass out. When it’s not a clinic day, I either work in a frenzy on everything known to man until I just can’t stay awake anymore, or, I zone out for hours processing something tough that happened at the clinic.

I did spend the whole of last week and every minute of Friday — after I got back from some extra training at the clinic for something else — through Monday night finishing this monstrously large piece, which was one thing keeping me way too overcommitted, but it is off my desk now. I also put a call out on Scarleteen’s facebook for more volunteers, and am saying a little prayer that will be in some way fruitful. The way things have been going there, there has been more work to do since I started the other job with even less time to do it in, which is not manageable. And don’t even get me started on my photo backlog.

But did just want y’all to know I am alive. Barely, but sometimes life is like that. This, too, shall pass.  And with that, I’m off to the clinic commute.)

    If I can help, let me know. I’ll be back next weekend, if you want company and wine or something. Sorry I haven’t been around, I’ve been miserably ill for the last two weeks.

    Your commute sounds brutal. Do you get to at least unwind and relax a bit? Read a book? Listen to music? Gather wool? Or is it the sort of thing where you need to pay attention to what is going on?
