My “days off” are work days, too

This has taken me from 9 to 5 each day, taking about 15-20 minutes for breakfast and lunch before moving onto the next thing. I am…I can't believe it…even MORE tired than I am on most work days.

I took 10 minutes to type this list because I've been on hold with my bank about another matter…and now it's time to handle that, too.

I'm so fucking tired. I don't think I'll ever feel rested again. Especially since I just vaporized several days off.
