Funny ha-ha

The thing about being almost done, is that I'm really not. Yes, I have a draft. Which is sitting in front of a couple people for editing, that I need to get back in order to do the edits, but there is another pile of stuff that needs to get done and I'm really, really exhausted. It feels like every time I turn around there is something more to do, either thesis related, or life stuff. I'm done working for the ninja-holidays, but there is still the bar, which is about to get busy with beer gardens.
And then there's the fact that I still haven't done anything for my birthday which I know is annoying my dear and wonderful friends. I'm getting tired of saying, and I imagine they are equally tired of hearing, that I just can't right now. I really don't know how people with kids get through this. Actually I do, because C is both a mom and a thesis-finisher, and it is driving her nuts. She hasn't worked full time for the last month, but I'm pretty sure the little ball of joy constitutes something similar. What's eating at me is that I'm going to remain uber busy right though Sept and have already missed one friend's visit, and won't be able to miss the next friend who is coming, and this friend isn't great at hearing she isn't the centre of the world. Which I don't mean in an unkind way, she'll just try to be helpful when I want to be alone. Which sounds very Drama Queen, but is so very true. I'm going to keep up these hours till I see what schedule S is on next week with the new job, but I can see it continuing for some while afterward, simply in order for me to get everything done without losing my head.
I did manage to find the energy to take a night out and went to see a glam metal cover band which made me very, very happy.
