My I am bleary-eyed with exhaustion, but I have work still to do.

I have worked every evening, well past midnight. I have gotten up early every morning to get in some more work before heading to the office. I have struggled with dizziness because of my fatigue. My muscles are weak and not holding my joints as they should. My ankle still hurts from a fall a week ago, my back and neck hurt from the arthritis (I have forgotten to take my medicine twice this week), and these strange bruises on my arms hurt. I am tired. Yet, I have work to do.

All this week, I have been looking forward to Friday...to the knowledge that even if I work this weekend, I will get to sleep in on Saturday as long as I wish.

I only hope that all of this will not be for naught.
