I need some sleep!

Well, as good as it was to be on vacation, it is now back to the real world. The last couple of weeks since vacation was over has been incredibly busy!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know why, but at work it is like the dam burst. The customers are coming out of the woodwork! I just can't get caught up! And there are a couple of other things going on as well. It is incredibly busy at home as well. The yard needs tending to, the cleaning needs to be done, I need to get beans canned, and I seem to have meetings all the time. That feeling of drowning is coming back. I didn't sleep last night. This seems to happen every time I feel too stressed. I took a "Simply Sleep" a few minutes ago so I hope I can sleep tonight. I think after next week I will feel better. Some of the issues I have at work should be worked out by then. I sure hope so anyway. Our parade season and the county fair should be over as well. I just need some down time. Some time to spend with a cocktail out on the patio. I spent a few minutes out there last Saturday, but it wasn't nearly enough. Maybe I will have to invite friends over and have a bonfire on Saturday. Maybe that will help "the altitude of my attitude".
