I’m starting to feel like I’m drowning a bit. I was a bit shocked that January disappeared so quickly.
And then I thought it’s going to slow down a bit, it always does at this time of year.
But it’s not…
Instead I am finding myself pulled into more and more things and I’m definitely feeling a bit overwhelmed.
For instance. Last week I agreed to review a few research proposals for a funding opportunity.
No big deal, it’s only three.
Except they didn’t give me access to the folder until later Friday afternoon….and this afternoon, while I was in an all-day meeting, I received an email telling me that they’d appreciate the reviews as soon as possible, because they’d like to have their next steps in place for the end of the week.
That’s just one thing on a long to-do list that seems to get longer despite the things I tick off.
<erg>
All day today in a relatively important meeting, on the road all day tomorrow with a group, so I have Wednesday, and then I am in an other all day meeting Thursday….and off Friday, and have two appointments otherwise I’d probably forgo that day off to try to get caught up again.
And I know that I have an assignment due date for my class soon…so I’m about to have 30 papers dropped on me for grading.
Next week is not looking a lot better….
I think I’m going to lose my mind soon.
