Completely overloaded and yes, some of it is my own fault. Doesn't make it any easier to deal with though! On top of the usual Christmas activities ...gift buying, card writing, getting decs up -all of which are now running late- I'm also responsible for village Christmas lights and I direct and stage manage the village panto. (No, I'm not Linda Snell!) Panto is on this week and I'm still altering a crocodile head for tonight having spent the weekend transforming the village hall into a theatre. I also have to try and catch up with dc and dgc who are 70 and 100 miles away, plus local dd and dgd, not to mention recently bereaved FIL who is a day's travel there and back. DH's accounts need to be at accountant ASAP as well and I really should fit in a dental appt as I have a twinge-y molar. Cat was ill last week and SIL has now sustained a significant rugby injury which requires surgery this week. I had DGS to stay for 3 days last week as his school had in service days, and DGD the week before for the same reason.
My asthma is currently pretty bad, been coughing like I'm on 40 Woodbine and doc now wants to add Montelukast into mix of preventer and reliever meds I already have. I'm not happy about this as I feel responsible because of my overload and think things will settle down again post Xmas. I'm also catching every virus that's out there so just lurch from one bout of ill health to another. Not sleeping either.
I'm def doing too much but can't offload anything. Help-am going under for third time!
