exhaustion
I haven’t written in a while.
I’m physically and mentally exhausted.
It has been the longest summer of my life.
I was sick for quite a bit of it. I started a new job. I was taking my first graduate level classes.
I’m exhausted.
Top it off that I have to make up the time when I was sick and my awesome new job paid me for that time and I’m working close to 60 hours a week and trying to go to school. Then add on at least 20 hours a week for homework.
AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Yes. I’m tired.
My hands are shaking as I type this because I’m so exhausted.
Whine, whine, whine. I know, I know. I get myself into these things.
But on another note…isn’t that puppy the cutest thing ever?
Really.

i think starting this new stuff wears us out, even when it’s a good thing… i’ve been sick, too. we’ve started with meetings this week (classes start next week).. and it’s like i come home and sleep until it’s time to go again.
and i still have so much to do…
i love you, miss dawn… and i am so proud of you…..

Great puppy photo, and thanks for the great photo postings on Flickr (from which I found your blog).
Here’s another good puppy shot on Flickr
Good luck with school, BTW: I recently started back (at 45 with a full-time job and two elementary-age kids). It’s tough, so be sure to make health and sleep a priority.
Take care,
Richard
