Exhaustion

Put some blonde hair on this woman and you've got me. All the stress and preparation.....early mornings, late nights, no breaks......and I'm done in. My throat is getting scratchy and I refuse to get sick. I feel as though I could sleep for days. I had to remove someone from my team today. I hate like heck having to do that. He's not fired......consider it "group incapability." He's one of those - "it's not my job." I don't have room for that in my sphere. Plus our customer said, get him off. So he's gone. That's how I ended the day. Headed to a meeting, it got postphoned two hours when I was almost there. I was so mad I could have spit. But it's raining and to drive back home - no way. So I took dinner to a senior friend of mine. She's connected to my family in an odd sort of way. Frankly, she drives me crazy. I know; I'm awful aren't I? But I knew she needed food and drink - so I took it over. Bless her heart, she's over 70 and trying to look 40. It's a bit .....well....I won't say it. Poor thing was so lonely, she talked my ear off. And of course, today I had been on conference call after call today. She even followed me down the stairs still chatting as I had to leave. Traffic sucks in the rain. I have to go BACK to my customer's location tommorrow and I know I'll hear about the team member I had to replace. I am going to come home and crawl in the bed after that. I haven't checked my blackberry to see if I can REALLY do that but it is my PLAN. I can't wait for the weekend. I'm sooo ready. No plans, no work, no presentations. Thank you all for your support. I love you all.
