So much time, so little to do...
Wait. Scratch that. Reverse it.
I am sorely tempted to drive back to Montreal tomorrow for the sole purpose of doing yard work for a few hours before coming back here for tomorrow's overtime shift. I don't think I'll succumb to the temptation, because it would be downright insane. It's just that the yard is really bugging me, and I only have a day and a half in Montreal this week before going back to work. The only full day in town I have is Wednesday, but half of that at least is going to be taken up with car repairs, and I have someone coming on Wednesday afternoon, which means that not only will the yard not get done, but it won't get done before the guy comes over, too. I am more than a little chagrined at the idea.
If I'm lucky, I'll be able to leave work early on Tuesday. The last time they allowed me to take my "break" at the end of my shift so I could go home early. If that happens, then I'll rush home as quickly as I can and try to take advantage of the daylight to make sure that the yard is at least completely clear of the last of the dog poop (the aforementioned corner that's covered in gravel).
I have a to-do list as long as my arm, and basically no time this week in which to do it all. To say that this is stressing me out would be putting it mildly. I've been waking up 3-4 hours before my alarm every day by anxiety attacks, which is really not fun, let me tell you. I am going to be so glad when things start to feel like they're more under control.
In no particular order, this is the to-do list. This is mostly for my own records, so feel free to skip over it.
The most time-intensive of that is obviously all the yard work. I have no idea when I'll be able to get it all done, but I'll make it work somehow, I guess. There's a lot more to the list than that, but that's what needs to get done in the next week (or, y'know, day and a half when I'll actually be in a position to do anything about it).
