edenfallingI survived! \o/
And I even got all my clients off hold except the one guy who ghosted me in February, and the people who had to file an extension because of a missing form that the company responsible refused to give them except by mailing a physical copy that wouldn't arrive until May. *headdesk*
Anyway, I have taken the past week to pay down my sleep debt, and now I'm starting to tackle some of the Tasks that I let slide over the past few months, such as finally delivering several boxes of donations to various charitable organizations, and arranging a Zoom call with Susan and Cat.
I also treated myself to fancy brunch at one of my favorite local restaurants on Sunday morning, and then a lovely chamber music concert on Sunday afternoon, because life is too short not to give yourself nice things when an opportunity arises. :D
This week Mr. Geniality and I have started testing an alternate schedule where I work in the downtown office on Tuesdays and take Wednesdays off instead. So far it seems to be working pretty well. He likes the idea because Monday and Tuesday tend to be his days of Overwhelm, and I'm already in the Collegetown office on Mondays so having me completely unavailable on Tuesdays created a huge backlog. I kind of like it because this evens out my schedule a little -- two days on, one day off, three days on, one day off, etcetera -- rather than the herky-jerky on-off-on-off-on that used to be Saturday through Wednesday.
But we'll see how it shakes out long term.
And now I think I will head off to take care of the laundry I decided not to deal with on Sunday, because Sunday was my Good Day and Wednesday has therefore become my designated Chore Day for this week. *wry*
