Devil's Workshop

If my life gets any more busy, I'll have to hire a personal secretary. LoL.

Seriously though, I feel like I've been running about 150 miles an hour for the last week and a half now. School is definitely kicking my butt. Three paralegal classes may not seem like much, but Lord have mercy! Let me tell you it is! It's a lot of reading, a lot of paper writing, a lot of test taking, and a lot discussion board posting....and all of the writing has word count minimums. Ever have to try to figure out how to stretch an 8 word definition about contractual consideration into a 250 word discussion board post? Not fun.

I have hauled out my big purse/tote\bag lady\whatever you wanna call it bag, so that I can take my textbooks with me everywhere. I'm reading about law office technology in the McDonalds drive thru, in traffic when I'm stuck trying to get across the bridge, and on my lunch breaks at work. Yeah...so, school pretty much consumes my life.

Surprisingly enough, our apartment is not a mess. Usually when I'm uber busy like this, my neat freak tendencies get thrown to the wind. However, I'm finding that in the midst of all this running I'm doing now a days, I have to have some of semblance of order in my life. And coming home to an apartment that's a wreck is just not conducive to the things that I need to accomplish. I need everything to be in it's rightful place. It's crazy. The busier I get, the more OCD I get. Which is kind of self-defeating because I don't have time to be OCD. LOL.

Even though the apartment is in pretty good shape, by dog, Oliver is not. He is a long hair dachshund and his fur is driving me up the wall. I usually trim his fur and nails myself to save on the cost, but as you can guess, I haven't had time. Neither have I had time to go to the vet and pick him up another dose for Vectra 3d...so his itchies are becoming more and more prevalent and all the more gross. He's always had problems with his skin, so I have no idea if his new constant biting and scratching at his hind area is the result of a new onslaught of those bedeviling little fleas, or just his allergies acting up. Something needs to be done though...I can't stand his constant buttmunching. Ha.

Even though it makes things a little crazy, I do actually like being kept busy. You know that old saying, "Idle hands are the devil's workshop". So, even though it can be a bit overwhelming to have so many responsibilities...it keeps me out of trouble and the devil at bay. Ha.

Must dash! Have blessed day!
