ever feel like you run around with your head cut off trying to get everything done, but then you get the feeling like what you're doing is never good enough? i don't think i spread myself too thin in general, but of late i've been so stressed and so busy and trying to please everyone... but the more i try to do that, the more it feels like i'm doing everything wrong. maybe i should just hibernate next week on my week off and do stuff that's just to please me. i have a lot to take care of next week anyway (including finding a new abode). i'm ready for some downtime.

i'm cat-sitting this week for two quite cute kitties.... they're julia's and would normally stay at heather's, but one of heather's cats is really sick. so, the brother and sister pair (mcgonagall and montana, respectively) are currently curled up next to me on the couch. once they got over their initial distrust of a new person and new place, they decided that they were right at home. they're quite curious about the hole under the stairs, the frog tank, and the back corner under my bed. montana also really likes the stuffed frog that judy and robbie gave me for my birthday (i even took a picture, it's that cute).

my last week at nfwf is almost half over! i have three days left, and so much to do. i may be at work late on thursday and friday to make sure i get everything done. i keep sitting down with heather to give status updates on where i'm at, and i keep thinking of more things that need to be picked up in my absence. i still haven't gotten a volunteer to be the point of contact for all of the tech stuff i do (and sadly never got compensated for!), but understandably no one wants that responsibility. we really need an office manager who is responsible for those kinds of things. but then again, there are number of things that nfwf could use...
