I'm sleepy. Falling asleep at my desk.
I fell asleep on the RER this morning, waking just in time to not miss my stop.
At lunch, I could feel myself heading down into the pizza, face first.
I'm exhausted.
Thing is, I had Florida Boy over for ten days - which meant ten days of running all over Europe, with late nights and early starts. Then, the day he left I ended up with le Fabulous Parisien on an overnight visit.
I left le FP behind and flew to the UK for a weekend of moving house - heavy stuff - late nights with my cousin and breakfast chats with my Mother. Exhausting.
I got back late sunday night - nearly midnight - then was up again for work at 6am monday. Monday evening saw le FP come round - not an early night - and he's back again tonight.
Tomorrow I have a long-standing date with a really lovely guy who's back in town having recently moved to Switzerland. That's gonna be a late one too, I'm sure.
Thursday, My Lovely Irish Dutch Friend arrives with his beau in tow and the party weekend begins.
I'm not sure when I get to sleep, when I get to re-charge my batteries.
I just know that I'm already exhausted and it's going to get worse before it gets better. And I absolutely refuse to have my Final Fortieth Birthday Party Weekend (yes, I know my actual birthday was back in July) ruined by my being too tired to enjoy myself.
What's a boy to do?
I have the feeling that I'll be working from home one day this week....

Drink Coffee and pretend you a student again
You're going to crash one of these days and it isn't going to be pretty. Call in a sick day sweetie. Just do it.
A triple espresso 3X a day ...
What! Uh uh. No way. Not only was I not even mentioned that I'm coming the furthest for la big party weekend, then you go and tell us you're going to fall asleep half-way through!
No one said nothing about no slumber party!
Suck it up lady. You'll be fine. Haemorrhoid cream for the bags under your eyes and plenty of caffine, vitamin B and sugar should see you through.
nah take a mental health day or work from home. and by that I mean sleep with half an eye open and on the laptop. Don't do what I did only today and start snoring on a teleconference call while you're working from home :)
VM - I do that anyway...maybe it's time to reach for the no doze though....
Aims, it isn't pretty at the best of times sweetie!
D, that may just work - the coffee is bubbling away as I type...
Alan, you'll appear in a later post, don't worry - especially if this weekend lives up to expectations....
Mootant - I'm following your instructions to the letter. I already rubbed some haemarrhoids round my eyes....
12oti - I hope you blogged about that...I'm popping over to see now!
I'm sensing that Friday will be a work at home day - just remember to forward those phones when you leave on Thursday!
Pull a sickie! Lucky you with the busy week though, can't wait to hear about it!
Big C, I have two people to interview on friday morning :( and one tomorrow :( and a colleague coming from UK today :(
so no time for ME! And you know how happy that makes me, ha ha. Oh well, Still really looking forward to seeing y'all! yay!
Audrey, i'm sure you'll get all the gossip right here on these meagre pages!
I try not to blog about work. Just in case they find it.
Although you sound on the verge of a breakdown, it still sounds like you lead a pretty fabulous life. Lots of friends (some with benefits!) and a great social life - woo hoo! :)
12oti - sounds wise to me...wiser than me, obviously ha ha
L - it's kind of great. I wouldn't change a thing. Well, not much anyway ;-)
Être Quarant n'est pas amusant. ;-)
CB, cheer up dear. Being forty is lots of fun. I'm loving it.
Ah, the power of positive thinking...
