Knock knock......

Is anybody still here??  I sure hope so.  I never intended to stay away so long but life gets in the way.  So lately I have been working on what amounts to basically 2 full time jobs.  Beside my regular full time job, every 4 years I serve as the Election Official for our town.  So I have been doing all that work evenings and weekends.   5 weeks of it left and then I can breathe again.  It's has been so busy and hectic I am starting to crumble.  So many legislative deadlines and short timelines.  My brain is at capacity.   If you've been reading my drivel for awhile you know I'm kind of particular.  So I take my job seriously.  I have delivered 5 past elections to the town with NO legal challenges and under budget so I put a lot of pressure on myself to deliver again. I've had so much on my mind that when I'm done work for the night I just turn off and can't think anymore.  The other day I was walking through the parking lot at my office in the morning and I had to look down to make sure I had gotten dressed and wasn't still wearing my pyjama pants.  TRUE STORY,   That's when I knew things were bad. Lol.  So that day day I asked my boss to meet with me at the end of the day.  We had a great talk and we worked together to prioritize some things etc.  That was the first night I slept well in weeks.  It just helped to talk it through and help me feel a little more in control.   I thought tonight I should do a quick post because some of you were beginning to worry.  (I loved that part).  So I'm OK but just a little brain dead.    It might take me awhile longer before I get back to visiting you but I will do my best soon.   Abby says hi too
