SO TIRED

For some reason Snookums tortured me by waking me up a whole bunch of times last night and the night before, to the extent that I thought he might have low blood sugar this morning even though he wasn't acting confused because I had already fed him twice in the wee hours. But nope, it was completely normal, and when I offered him a third bowl of food he just walked past, followed me back to bed, jumped in and nestled under my arm and started purring!

Then when we woke up this morning there was a puddle coming from under the freezer. Wax had the late shift, and when I came home I actually fell asleep petting the cats, so needless to say, we have not managed to figure out how to clean the drain pipe or filter or whatever it probably is, because the troubleshooting just says to do it, not how to do it.

And I have to go to the board meeting tomorrow night. When I say "have to", I have now committed to do so, but they just asked me and they didn't pressure me about it, so it's totally my fault for not saying no, I realize this. The thing is, it IS easier to do my job when I have heard what they said at the board meeting, it's just... I don't like staying an extra two hours after work (it physically and emotionally exhausts me and I typically also start to get overloaded to the point of having difficulty with verbal conversations by the end of 7 hours), even when I'm getting paid for it. However, I actually have two things to explain to the board that are probably better explained in person than in writing. Like, nothing is preventing me from just submitting a written summary of why we don't have Microsoft Office yet and why I still have not returned the volunteer rescue service's laptop... but they may have questions... and... and I find it hard to say no? The only saving grace is that we will have leftovers tomorrow and we already cleaned the sink and counter today.

That does sound exhausting.

If you're looking for advice, not just sympathy, re the freezer, I've had good luck with YouTube videos for that sort of thing.
