Today is a pity party day. I feel overwhelmed and don't know which task to tackle. I woke up feeling this way. I wanted to stay home but have so much to do at the library that I felt obligated to go, especially since next week I work at the clothes closet. I have 24 books to get ready for one of our members. I started working on them last Friday and discovered that parts of the data base that I need is either missing or partially missing. Plus, I have to convert the data from Access to Excel so it won't use so much paper. Sounds easy, and it really is, but it is also time consuming. Twenty-three of the books are ready for binding. I still have to find one missing data base. Our tech support has assured us it will be on our external hard drive (back up). I hope he's right. While I actually don't mind doing these, I am falling farther behind on other work that needs to be done. There are 13 boxes of court cases to proof and that number grows every day. I don't think I will ever get caught up. That's where the overwhelming part comes in. Not only are all these boxes sitting around but my desk is piling up with papers/pictures that need to be archived. Plus, I have treasurer responsibilities and books to enter and get ready to be shelved, and on and on and on. Sometimes I feel like I am the only person who does any work there and I know that's not true.
More pities--
People ask me how Valary is and I have to say I don't know because I haven't heard from her. I know she is busy and has a life of her own, but it would be nice to get an email that would let me know she is at least thinking about me, if only for a few moments.
Then there's the spotting. It's been going on now for three weeks. I thought the pill that the doctor gave me was supposed to stop it but it hasn't. The whole thing is wearing me out.
Too many things going on. Meetings Wednesday night and Thursday morning. The clothes closet next week. I need to get workers. I am supposed to go to an archives meeting that week, as well as retired teachers. Just thinking about the next two weeks wear me out. Can't I just crawl in a hole and hide? Why do I think I have to do it all? Why can't I just say no?
