It has been such a crazy week. First, my dad came over the weekend and was sick/miserable the whole time with what ended up being strep throat. Then Chuck’s mom called Sunday night and said they were heading down to visit Monday-Thursday. I have two events after work Wednesday/Thursday, then another friend coming into town Friday night, for the weekend. I also am hosting a wives’ event on Saturday afternoon.

Work has been insane too, because the Wilmington “metropolitan statistical area” lost Brunswick County in the last census… so all hell has broken loose. The work in to figuring out why has largely fallen on my shoulders – so suddenly, I’m an economics/urban planning subject matter expert!

I’m exaggerating slightly, but it is definitely hijacking my days, so my regular work isn’t getting done quite as efficiently as I’d like. At least I am learning a lot…and getting some exposure to higher-ups in the process.

Somewhere thrown in there, I also need to write a letter to officials in Colorado about my mom’s legal/mental health situation, and get it in the mail before her court date… which is rapidly approaching. No time, no time, no time! (I guess maybe I should have done that instead of writing this blog entry? Lol!)

Anyways. Stretched thin much?? Sunday night should be relaxing 🙂
