Man, being sick really sucked the life blood out of me last week. Perhaps it was brought on by knowing what this week at work was going to be (BUSY!) I’ve come home from work more than once this week, only to fall asleep upon entering the door and then find myself wide awake at 3am, of course. All the sleeping while being sick didn’t help either. I must stay up. Must not go to bed at 8 or I will be up all the early morn.

All this crying this week has taken a toll as well. The Virginia Tech madness. Hanging out with old friends from High School on Monday and talking about very adult stuff like husbands behaving badly and husbands having heart attacks. Sigh…tears. And today? Sadness over one of my best friends mama going into the hospital. I cry too easily, but I wouldn’t want me any other way.

Work Front: Tuesday was the fancy cocktail reception, I ended up working until 9 pm. And today was our board meeting which meant staying late. And well? Resting will come later, after the Athena Awards Luncheon on Wednesday and our Mother’s Day fundraiser which is over on Mother’s Day. As my friend Bear constantly says “No Rest for the Wicked.”

I also seem to be knee deep in the hoopla with League, being nominated and slated and accepted as a New Member Adviser for next year. And helping to plan *informal social events* and with the Show House commitments coming up!!! (As well as not so secretly planting seeds and recruiting new members for the Fall!)

And B.O.H.W. well, I am trying hard with the help of PaulDub and a fabulously committed group of community volunteers to plan the Happy to Be Here Happy Hours (for April, May and June) as well as getting my feet wet with two events during our week long Buffalo Old Home Week Celebration July 1-9th!

And for some reason between these two commitments and family parties, that encompassed my entire weekend. I did however get in a little bit of reading, interestingly enough it was called “The Importance of Being Idle: A Little Book of Lazy Inspiration.”

My spousal equivalent has an amazing Wing Chun Workshop coming up in the beginning of June and has been working tirelessly on finding a suitable space for training, teaching, and learning how to be a promotion/marketing machine. Much to my slacking, I have not been pulling my share of this load. Will be working on this, um, tonight, right after I do some more planning for the B.O.H.W Happy to Be Here Happy Hour next Tuesday.

I love my life. I feel complete when involved and active in the community, but man…I am looking forward to a few days of not being sick and not having anything to do…other than laundry (broke into the thong collection today, time to wash!) reading, wasting time on cable (just for a few hours!) blogging and snuggling with my love.

I guess I’ll settle for just one full day. An entire weekend? Maybe around mid-June I might be free. Or not.

And I think I want kids someday? When will I fit them in?
