kjpepperThe next few weeks are going to be insane. Let me spell out what this will mean ahead of time so that people don't get pissy with me later. That already happened once this year, I'd like to skip a repeat performance.
a) Work's eating me alive, and it uses a good bit of my brainpower. It's going to be doing this for the forseeable future.
b) I'm moving in a couple of weeks. This is stressful and will be occupying a good bit of the minute brain capacity left over from work.
c) The remainder of my time and energy will most probably be spent with the wonderquad+jew+![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
beatgoddess. This is for the following reasons: i) either I live with the above, am moving at the same time and into the same building/around the corner as the above ii) these folks actually take the time to seek out my company and drag me out of the hole I retreat to when I'm not dealing with a and b. Much as I'd like to hang out with the rest of you, it's not going to happen unless you approach me and I happen to be free. I really have neither the energy nor the ability to actively head anywhere not easily reachable by PVTA, and this makes me rather disinclined to reach out to people for socialization purposes. Unfortunately due to a and b, the driving project has once again been shelved.
d) I'm probably going to end up skipping everything in LJ except blood, emotional upheaval, emergency surgery or other major trauma. This will probably also mean that if you have a birthday between the months of April and August, I'm probably going to forget it. I'll make it up later.
e) THIS STATE OF THE ANDEE IS TEMPORARY. Regularly scheduled Andee will most likely return after this summer.
I'm sorry if the above seems selfish, but recent thought has led me to the conclusion that I haven't been selfish enough with my time, which has in turn led me to spread myself way too thin and not have any energy to spend on myself, let alone actually important stuff. I figured I'd get out the state of the plate now so if anyone else feels like they can't take me absenting myself from most and sundry they can get off my train now and leave me to the navel gazing and water treading that I absolutely need to do. As for the tone, I recognize I'm being overly harsh and sarcastic, but I've been in low grade homicide mode for a while and the issue of how my time is being spent and how I choose to de-stress is now a major trigger for me, so I'm probably just going to be nasty about it until I get over it. *shrug* You've been warned.
