busy cubed

Ok, I don’t expect a lot of blogging time for a week.  I am so insanely busy I don’t know how to fit it all in.  I’m behind in my tutoring assessments which means I absolutely have to do them this week.  At around an hour a piece that translates into 5 hours in the evenings spent catching things up.  I’m still working at the community college though I shouldn’t have to work late any of those nights.  So that kills a few hours on monday and wednesday.  To top it all off, we move saturday.  I’ve only found one person to help us move, and while handy she isn’t wonder woman, leaving us without any muscle for the move.  That means hiring movers, which I’m not sure how we’ll afford.  But without any other options…I just don’t know anyone here.

But, before we can move everything has to be packed.  We have way too much stuff, and Carrie is not in any shape to help very much.  Her seizures are increasing in frequency, leaving her completely exhausted all the time.  She helps when she can, but it’s dangerous to have her do too much.  Today we went to the UT women’s basketball game but left at halftime after 2 of the ‘checking out’ kinds of seizures and the feeling in her stomach that tells her a grand mal is on the way.  Thankfully she held that off, but we missed the rest of the game.  Everyone was really cool at the arena though and kept an eye on her while I got the car.

So I have to somehow pack the house, get my assessments done, and still get in all my hours at work.  Right now I’m going to work as much as I can early in the week.  I have only a bit of vacation time.  I plan to use 8 hours on friday.  But, if I can get more than 32 hours monday through thursday I can leave earlier on thursday and buy me a bit more time to get this stuff done.  I wish I could afford to take off more time without pay, but it’s not possible.  This is the last week of working at the community college which means less money coming in.  I can’t afford to lose any more.

I’m not panicking yet.  But, it’s hard to stay focused on the positive.  I know it’ll be fine, I just wish I could do it at a pace that allowed me to get some decent sleep.  And since my sleep has been shit lately, I don’t know how I’m going to survive this week.  Time to put my Marine hat on and dig deep.  I can be everything to everyone, right?  lol  Just kidding.  I’ll be here for emergencies, but otherwise people are on their own.  I only have the time needed to help Carrie and focus on this house.  Hmm…I wonder if I can borrow a friend to help me pack on friday?  That could be useful, though a bit embarrassing at the mess.  I wish I lived back home.  My parents are awesome helpers/movers.  But that’s just too far right now. 

Time for bed.  Hopefully 7 hours of sleep will come and I’ll start the week off alright.
