Wednesday and it's not snowing

It's hard to believe, but it's a Wednesday in 2011 in CT, and it isn't snowing.  This may be the first one this year.  lol.  In all seriousness, this is the first week since the start of the year where it seems likely that we will have a full 5 day week - both work and school.

Of course, I feel like I'm falling apart.  I burnt my tongue last Wednesday on very VERY hot tea and so now I have cat-like sandpaper tongue.  It's very annoying.  My hands hurt from chopping ice on Sunday.  My skin is a mess and I am all hormonal.

Work is so crazy busy I can't think straight, let alone actually get anything done between my endless meetings.  Everyone in my department is stressed and moody.  It's review time and my review was fine - too boring vanilla generic same shit different year fine.  And I got no raise due to a 'snafu' - bullshit but whatever.  Supposedly 2011 will (finally) be the year that I get the long-promised upward movement...but I have to take a lot of ownership for that.  I will probably spend my kid-free Saturday doing the first chunk of work I need to do with that.  This is MY career, my life - I need to own it.

And on top of everything else...I'm just sad.  Very sad.

And I'll leave it at that.  I'm working through something, I'm being stubborn and pig-headed and emotional.  I know I'll get through and I hope things will turn around but right now - I guess I'm wallowing.
