Counting the Weeks

Things may have settled down at work, but now my social life is out of control, and that isn’t necessarily a good thing. It has been almost two weeks since I have had a night at home. With my birthday and year-end events at the school, it has been one thing after the other.

Don’t get me wrong, I am a social butterfly. I could think of nothing worse than staying in and being anti-social, but lately I’ve had those events you have to go to. Work functions and such, where, if you don’t show up, it doesn’t look good. All I wanted to do last night was go home and chill out, but no such luck. I had yet another work related event I had to show my face at. I was hoping to stay no later than 8:00 p.m., but didn’t manage to escape until after 8:30. I don’t necessarily dislike these events, it’s just that June is such a busy time of year, and sometimes you just need a break, but you have to pick and choose your time to say no. And now isn’t the time.

But in mere weeks there will be no more school, no more work functions, no more work (for a month). Then I will be faced with a new dilemma: boredom.
