Dear Diary Thursday...

Mood.....exhilerated.

I finally slept a full night last night and have SO MUCH ENERGY TODAY! It was wonderful to wake up to my alarm, knowing that I did not move hardly at all the entire night, slept REAL sleep....it just feels good.

Work is just total insanity right now. I am working at my place of employment AND taking work home every night. We picked up a huge client and we are totally not prepared for the windfall of claims that it has brought. They are pulling people off of their regular duties to help and everything is just out of control....with no end in sight. Do I see this getting better? Yes....in about 4 or 5 months. The good part of this is that I am getting paid to process claims ( paid by the claim), getting paid for my regular job, AND getting overtime...so it is like working three jobs!!! The money will be helpful, the lack of any type of social life will suck. I am taking precautions so that I can have some time "away" from work....like this Friday. Friday is my "date night" with Dylan and I am very much looking forward to it. We are going to go OUT to dinner and then to a movie....just the two of us I believe. And thanks to people like Tonster who have helped me keep a calm head of my shoulders and kept me focused on what is most important....which is not my job.

Speaking of important, I have decided that it is time for me again to weed the garden of Friends. That sounds so cold, but I think it is best for me. I am tired of putting out a great deal of energy.....making calls and sending e-mails, to have little to no response from a couple of individuals. I am not saying I am severing ties and throwing people to the side of the road, but I can no longer give so freely of my energy when very little, if anything, is ever returned by those folks. I don't think it is a bad thing for individuals to move to a different standing in your life.....you can never have too many acquaintances. But this is still just a thought rolling around in my head....
