Clearing Brain Cache

I am so worn out I can barely stand it. I've been working lots of overtime at work, some of it I volunteered for, but most of it has been mandatory overtime due to the winter storm that is slamming the northeast. PIT, PHL, DCA, IAD, BWI - - forget it. The flights have been canceling for days and these people are all stranded here staring at me. They all want me to know that they have been here since Friday. They all want me to know why they are traveling. They want me to know what is waiting on them, what consequences face them when they arrive late and they want to damn me for making the weather bad.

I feel empathy for them but after awhile I just get overwhelmed because there is nowhere to put these people! Nowhere! It's really exhausting, but that's how it's been, the days have been long and the nights have been late. I dont even know what I would do if I were in that situation. I feel so bad telling someone they're not getting home for a few days. I have to be careful though because once these people detect weakness or sympathy they tend to jump all over it, to squeeze whatever favors they can out of me while the 30 people in line behind them strain forward to listen to what I am doing so they can demand the same favor.

Anyway, the overtime has been plentiful. Which is good because that plus my impending tax refund will help me with a down payment on a new car. I really want another Barbiecar. I love it when the sun is on my skin and in my hair. HA like that has happened any time recently......but whatever. David's going to help me look at cars and make sure that I don't get all impulsive and buy the first thing I see. I have the worst impulse control.

The week has been nice....I spent fleeting moments with David the sweetie. Lots of time with the kiddos. And as I said before, the rest of my life belonged to work.
I guess that's just how it goes now til this book is done.

This new laptop is speedy and sleek and awesome. I've been practicing my Rosetta Stones PORTUGUESE!!! I wonder how many languages my brain can actually fit. Probably gotta be filling up soon.

Well, I would write more but I can feel myself falling asleep. It's almost time to be off work. I hope I dont fall asleep driving the A380 Excursion home. That would be bad.

Love all the way to the other planets. Hooray new car shopping!! We'll SEE!!

SNN
