Fatigued and Bleary-Eyed

After thinking about it on a pretty much non-stop basis for the past few days and weighing the pros and cons heavily, I’m still certain I want to go ahead and buy a house, should I qualify for a loan. For the moment however, things really can’t progress until I can go in to see the bank – and finding a spare moment in normal working hours is increasingly hard for me these days.
By Wednesday next week, I will have worked thirteen days without a break. Granted, a handful of these days will have only offered me half-day shifts, but even so, that’s still thirteen straight working days. I’m well overdue for a day of rest – yet when they call me early in the morning at the last minute for a shift, I haven’t the heart to turn it down because: a) they’re always so relieved when I agree, and effusive in their thanks; b) the money is a huge incentive – and every extra dollar will come in handy when it comes to putting down a house deposit.
Combined with the fact that I haven’t been getting much sleep (Stephanie would be proud of me, I’ve been working on fixing my problem with a lot of late night D&Ms), and that I had an epic 4500 word assignment due on Wednesday (yeah, I am actually still a postgraduate student in addition to holding down two jobs), it’s very much been a fatigued and bleary-eyed week.
My next day off is on Thursday next week (unless I’m called in for a shift at the last minute again), so hopefully I can go to the bank then and just get a definite yes or no to my dilemma.
On an endnote, regular readers will no doubt have noticed that my blogging schedule has hardly been as regular as it has in the past. Rather than posting daily, I’m reverting to something more akin to five days out of every week – the aforementioned time constraints are making it hard for me to write the type of entry that I would like. I’m used to writing entries that mean something, if not to others then at least to myself, and am reluctant to churn out rubbish that I’m not happy with.

I’ve been lacking sleep as well, but only because I stay up all night playing WoW. The hubby says I have to stop doing that. xD
