Back now from Outreach. Actually I was back on Friday night late. The weekend wasn't much fun though, because when I got to sleep back in my own bed it was beside a very hot little thing. At 102.5 degrees, he wasn't sleeping very well either, so we had a weekend of both of us trying to catch up on sleep and pull ourselves together. Mostly it has worked, mostly. Levi is much better now and went to school today, but we are both counting the days, nay the minutes, until the holidays. All of the kids are feeling this long term and you can tell that all the people at work are as well.
It seems that it is just hard to do anything at the moment. I think it is about burnout and fatigue. The good news is that I have a bunch of time off over Easter. Most of the office does as well, which will help everyone. It is a fabulous office. They are all so supportive, but when we all get worn down, it seems that it accentuates the affect.
I am feeling a bit down as well. It might have something to do with working a week and a half worth of hours last week and some of it may be that I am still having trouble sleeping. Sleeping is getting better though as it always does after a while. Some of the down, is in just not being able to help some of my friends that are going through tough times themselves. I feel as if I have let them down by being in Australia, when they could use some real help in USA. I wish that I had a time warper so that I could be in two places at once. I wish that I could do something to help, but am frustrated by the distance and the nature of the illness. I can't even really help to support from here.
