Realising that I'd only get irratable if I stayed up, and knowing that I'd have to get up early in the morning, I went to bed at 9pm. Thanks to a misbehaving back and sore kids, sleep stayed away until much later. I lost control when Jesara wouldn't put something away like she was asked, and I wasn't in the right frame of mind to help Theresa with anything; she's probably glad I didn't try.
This is about the midway point in a crappy week (with a weak back, hence the Subject).
+ Wednesday: Getting home late, only to discover the front wheel of my bike had been stolen. Then damaging my back somehow and not being able to sleep for most of the night.
+ Thursday: The training course was okay, but I didn't enjoy the back pain, or having to leave early to get a flight.
+ Friday: A full day of workshops I could have well done without, taking time away from another project. By the end of the day, I was so physically exhausted that I couldn't focus on the debate and was shaking in my seat.
+ Saturday: A flight way too early. Still too exhausted to focus. Office too hot to work in. Realising that my body is visibly out of alignment: my lopsided torso slumps to one side, hence the continuing back pain. The only highlight of the week so far: getting home and going out to see the very funny Shoestring Showcase.
+ Still to come: Lots of project work, leaving little time to get my back fixed. I think I need a chiropractor, but I don't see when I'll have the time for it. Other members of the project team have been very helpful, but the rest is up to me, so there are some long days ahead.
