You know how people always seem to dread Mondays? Well, in my case it has to be Wednesdays instead. There is something about Wednesdays that seems to make people call or visit more often. We know why we get more mail because it seems it takes postal workers until Tuesday night to recover from their rough weekends but that doesn’t explain the upsurge in calls and visitors. Unless, of course, they are all getting past their hangovers too!

Seriously, I feel like my office is a giant pressure cooker, the steam rising each day, and sooner or later it is going to explode. We are under a serious amount of stress at the moment and I’ve seen quite a few people in tears over the past few days. I’m determined not to let it get to me but it is so hard to stay out of things when you see others struggling to juggle their loads. Oh, but I finally got my contract – two months late!

I bought #1 Nephew’s birthday present today – he’s going to be ten in Sept but I needed to get it sorted out before then. I bought myself a fabulous limited edition CD and DVD with Elvis’s early concert performances so can’t wait to play that.
