Well, I certainly tried to have fun...

[JazzManJim]

But it looks as if it backfired on me.

A later-than-expected night last night after work led to my getting to sleep sometime around 1 AM. Back to work this morning...classes tonight..more work..more classes. Perhaps some kind of break, at least for a few quiet hours, may come next week sometime.

I have to finish writing this song for tomorrow night. I have to have it to my chorus rehearsal by then.

Deadlines are moving up faster than I can keep up with them at work.

They've finally hired another dispatcher to help out here at work. They didn't hire the one applicant who had a decade of experience. They hired the one who was a good secretary. What's tougher to teach? Yep...you guessed it. I really needed to spend that extra month training a new employee instead of having one pretty much ready to work alone from first hire.

I just need a nap.....badly.

Feel my fingers making tiny circles at your temples .

Take a sip of wine.

Don't worry about the phone, the ringer is off.

Lay back, breathe deeply and enjoy.







Take care, Jim!

Brighter days are coming

Take care, Jim!

Oh god, hon....I could so much use that kind of TLC, for about a hundred reasons.

I fear that, with college, I"ve bitten off more than I can chew - at least as far as time goes.

This is what my schedule looks like for the average week.

Mon, Wed-Sat: Work 8 AM to 4 PM

Fri: Work 5:30 PM to approximately 9:30 PM

Sun: Work 12:30 PM to approximately 8:30 PM

Tue, Thu: Class 10 AM to 12:30 PM

Mon, Wed, Thu: Class 7:15 PM to 10 PM

Tue: Chorus 7 PM to 10 PM

Class is about a 30 minute drive. Chorus is an hour's drive.

Somewhere in there is time for laundry, housework, school work and studying.

Right now I only have Saturday evening where there's an appreciable amount of tie to simply relax, or to hang with my friends (which is even more relaxing). Unfortunately, I don't have anything I can drop right now, as it's all very important to my life or my livelihood (if that makes any sense). I'm just starting to run out of steam and I'm not sure how to get it back.

Though my week-long Spring Break ks coming in about a week. Unfortunately, I have to spend it packing and trying to find a place to move by mid-April.

Darling....

there are many things in this world we don't have/make the time for. One of the few that we can always fit in is so simple and pleasant.

Light a candle in the bathroom, turn on the shower, turn out the lights, step in and just relax.

A pleasant scent to take you somewhere else, the water momentarily washing the worries and stresses of the day away and when the hot water runs out, settle into bed with a little more peace at least for a few minutes.

Enjoy my friend.

You know, I"m going to do exactly that tonight after class, before bed.

Thanks, hon.

That order should be arriving by the end of the week. Of late, everyone wants a piece of the deliveryman.

Hiya Jim!

What you need to do is go soak in a very hot bath for a while and read a book or something ( manga ) and try to relax.

Have yourself some wine too in there.

Tell the rest of the world to go fuck itself for an hour or so.

You're not 20 any more Jazzman, can't do shit like that anymore. I remember those days fondly. Hell there would be nights I wouldn't even go to bed. Just draw my weapon from the armory and go to work...

Those days is gone forever. Yes sir.

Ouch Jimmie.
Your poor thing.
I was in your position a while back. That is why I am taking time off from work. I had reached my limit.
You need to nuture yourself. Even if it's 10 minutes a day of standing in the shower, not moving a muscle- do it.
I hope things get better, soon.

Thinking of you...
