I got sent home from work early today for "looking like death warmed-over"...and not in a bad "you're in trouble" way...but my supervisor was afraid I would fall asleep standing up and fall over and hit my head on something. I don't know what it is about middle-of-the-week holidays, but they mess me up. It's like...I have to run for 5 days straight in a work week or I'm a disaster. I couldn't fall asleep last night no matter what I did. I finally drifted off at 2:30am after getting off 3 times, taking a hot relaxing shower, and getting baked. I don't operate well on less than 6 hours of sleep...considering I got up at 6am, I got...oh...3.5.
I actually started crying when they were bugging me about not going to the company picnic next week. I am glad that my supervisor knows that 99% of the time I am able to function in society an am not a complete flake...it was just the exhaustion and the fact that everyone was jumpng down my throat. It's not that I don't WANT to...it's just that everyone will be there with their families and spouses and pets...my family doesn't live here...my spouse works 3-11...and my dog is not well enough behaved to be let out into society. I don't know. This just isn't something that I want to go to by myself. Plus, this is my form of protest...this is supposedly an R&R committee event (Rewards and Relaxation), but they want me to come spend my out-of-work time with everyone I work with? I don't think so. If you really wanted to R&R me, you'd have the picnic in the middle of the work day like EVERY other department here does. Not from 5-8 at night when I have other things to do.
One of my amazing friends is coming to Columbus tomorrow and I am SOO excited. I haven't seen any of my friends from college since Cinco de Mayo, and even then most of them were missing. The last "big group" event we had was in Feb. That Ataris song has become my theme song lately..."In This Diary", is the title I think..."Being grown up, isn't half as fun as growing up, these are the best days of our lives..."
Saturday morning I am heading to our lakehouse in Michigan for 3 whole days of laying around in the sun and swimming. I am so excited. The weekends when we don't take Jon's daughter, and his sister and her brood don't come up are so few and far between. It'll be a quiet weekend with all adults...and my best friend and his girlfriend are coming to hang out with us on Saturday. I have known him since we were 14 and this is the first girlfriend he has EVER had that I absolutely adore. He could marry her tomorrow and I would be dancing in the streets. I am extremely protective of my boys...because as a female, I know when other females are up to no good.
