I'm seldom at a loss for words but the carnival period which began on January 6th was also the beginning of the busiest time of the year for me.
Working for a not-for-profit federally funded organization, we are subject to annual audits. Our audit was scheduled for January 22-24th and because we had so many changes in management during the year, I was asked to review and correct errors made in documentation. I worked 13 days straight, at times 12 hours per day. Considering the fact that it takes me almost two hours each way to get to and from work, there was little time for rest.
My efforts were rewarded when we received the highest ratings possible.
I was scheduled to take the following week off when the production supervisor became ill and I was asked to take on additional responsibilities. Vacation was put on the back burner.
February arrived with a Valentine's day party and dance followed two nites later by a Chinese New Year party, followed immediately with Mardi Gras......
Today, I've scheduled an appointment on Saturday with a canine geriatric specialist for Daisy who is beginning to have difficulty walking, due to arthritis.
Next week, Muggs is scheduled to see his vet for an annual physical and shots.
The following week, I see my opthalmologist for an annual exam.
I'm tired!
