I was looking forward to a relaxing week... no big plans, no traveling, no obligations.

BUT - When I got to work this morning, someone was out sick, and my boss asked me to work late in order to cover. No big deal, I like earning comp time. However, I didn't pack enough lunch, or start the day mentally prepared to work from 8-6. Then, another one of my co-workers went home mid-day due to a personal crisis. Again, not a big deal. Completely understandable really. However, with 1/2 of my team gone, it put a lot of extra pressure on me today and I feel like I haven't had a moment to breathe since I arrived at my office 9.5 hours ago. I still have a mountain of paperwork sitting here and I'm leaving in 15 minutes. I guess it will have to wait until tomorrow.

Maybe next week will be better.

Or tomorrow.

But tonight.... I'm going home, opening a bottle of wine, and putting my feet up. And possibly making some garlic bread. Yummy.
