Welp today turned out to be a total and complete wash. Whole weekend actually. Friday was at least halfway decent as I got to go see the new Sonic movie and enjoy a sushi lunch but the other half of Friday was mostly derailed due to an emergency run I had to deal with (which I've had to do at least once every single weekend for the past 4 weeks now...) Saturday wasn't terrible, but dealing with family is usually pretty exhausting for me, especially when I'm already at pre-burnout stages.
So any hope for relaxation at all this weekend is now officially gone. And with my birthday plans in the air pending approval for time off at work, I have absolutely no idea when I'm going to have ANY kind of stress free weekend. I am so freaking burnt out with 4 weeks of zero reprieve, and potentially up to 4 more weeks of the same...
So today especially I was hoping to take time to decompress and MAYBE have enough recovery time for another week of hell at work. But oh turns out I'm invited to spend time elsewhere. Well.. okay, sounds like the situation over there won't be stressful, and I haven't seen any of the people there in some time, so okay. But nope, a few hours in and the number of people unexpectedly double, with most of the new folk being quite LOUD and putting my stress levels through the roof.
