Exhausted

This has been one of the most exhausting weeks I've had (even including the craziness that was Thanksgiving week...) I find it to be very difficult to try and maintain two jobs, chiropractor sessions, and fencing consistently. It feels like I am pulling 12 hour work days on an all-too- regular basis. I'm glad that this year is almost over, though.

It's been great having the mother-in-law here for a visit. She's so adorable!

I haven't had much time to knit (I've only got an inch on my second kitsune mitten) and I find that to be very frustrating. This weekend I'm working Friday, Saturday, Sunday... but that is pretty much it.

This is one of my more rambling posts- it's more like a stream of consciousness and it's kind of interesting to see how ideas flow one to the next.

Yesterday, I learned how to properly clean a crab. It was also one of the /most/ frustrating days I've had in a while (and, yes, that even includes fencing practice.) It was one of those moments where I realized that I am completely uneducated about what it is that I should be doing. I don't know all of the different procedures that are necessary. It feels like I am making things more difficult for my coworkers (and I hate that). I am learning a lot of new stuff and feel like I /could/ be more useful at some point, but right now I feel inept and useless...

The handsome lad doesn't understand. In any case, he doesn't really listen... or at least that's what it feels like. It would be nice to have an actual conversation instead of me feeling like I'm talking to a wall. Active listening is such a great thing to know how to do... the only problem is I know when other people aren't really doing it...

There I go- whining about nothing. How typical.
