My body and mind are so drained. I am halfway through the semester, and I am lacking the motivation to continue on with the back half. It’s not only school, it’s everything. In the four years that I have worked for my company, I have never had things blow up all at once and to this level. Add to it that Bri has turned into an evil teenage troll, and some days it takes every ounce of energy to crawl out of bed when all I want to do is throw the covers over my head and hide from the world.

What really sucks is that I am spending most of my time doing everything I don’t want to do, and so very little of it doing the things I like and NEED. Each week, the good stuff gets edged out a little more because the icky stuff is taking over. I am never carrying this kind of load ever again. I can’t even formulate a decent Tweet because all day long I am being forced to fight and out think lawyers, while the evenings are spent outwitting professors. The last remaining drop of anything clever is siphoned off by arguing with a 14-year-old that thinks she knows EVERYTHING.

I need to take a week off. I wish I could, but I have auditors coming in-house starting Wednesday, I just found out that my hearing tomorrow has been continued a week, and the schedule will need to be cleared the following week because Phoenix is calling again for the other lawsuit. Somewhere in the middle of all this, I have five mid-terms to take. Oh, and let’s not forget Bri has all-state orchestra.

OK. Vent over. Back to class for another riveting lecture on more stuff I could care less about.

For those that don’t follow me on Twitter, I posted a link to this video that Simple Nomad passed to me a few days ago. The band is called Judgement Day, and the video is a fast-forwarded film of three artists commissioned to do the artwork for their new album. There were no rules for them, and it’s cool to see how something like this would be performed. Bri and I loved the music. The band consists of a violinist, cellist, and drummer. You can find out more information about them at String Metal. Enjoy!
