A not-so-good Update

[grim23]

I have just come to the final conclusion that, for the first time in 38 years, I will not be able to be home to visit my parents for Christmas.

Besides my overwhelming client crises, and the fact that I am physically ill and worn down to the point I fall asleep if I sit down, I do not have call coverage, and I also cannot in good conscience cancel the clients who are desparately in need that have been scheduled and promised that they would be seen on the 23rd and the 24th, by my short-staffed and unknowing reception staff.

The Seneschal, scheduled to go with me to drive the 16 hours to get home, also cannot go, as she has babies on respirators counting on her.

Also, I seem to have a major water leak leading from my house.

I will cope. All will be handled. A professional, according to Allistair McClean, is "someone who does the very best job they can especialy when then don't feel like it."

Hang in there

Your priorities are noble, and although your family will miss you, you're just where you need to be this weekend. Don't neglect self-care. You need a massage. Maybe you should schedule some time with your Best Friend, the (upcoming) Massage Therapist. =) See you on Sunday! =)

Thanks for the consult, Dr. Voluptasia. I think your diagnosis is correct. See you on Sunday. :>
