Can I sleep yet?

As commented...okay, okay, WHINGED recently, I have had a fairly busy week and the weekend provided no hold up.
Having performed in two shows on Friday night, the last show concluding at 10.45pm, it was necessary to show face at an hour long aftershow party before the more senior members of the cast and crew finally got to escape and go and get pis...slightly merry.

Dragging my sorry carcass back into the house at approximately 5am on Saturday (I say approximately, it's all very blurry now), I fell asleep in a random clear space on the floor and then had to be awake not long after for a nine hour shift at work.

Not just an ordinary day at work either. A day where christmas shopping is at it's peak. A day which also offered the customer 20% off all goods for the entire weekend. And also a day where we were short staffed. Needless to say chaos ensued and about two hours into the day I was ready for home. I managed to salvage twenty minutes out of my hour long lunch break having finally escaped the mass gangs of demanding individuals so was still rushing about like a madman. Getting home at 9pm, it emerged we were to have visitors...great. I locked myself away and phoned someone, using this as an effective escape route from otherwise unbearable company (no offence guys, I was just SO tired) Off the phone a good while later...yep, they were STILL there!! Bedtime arrived at about 3am.
Sunday, another early rising for work and an even busier day. I got a lunch break so thought, hey I better catch up on some eating. Got to the supermarket, went to the cash point...out of fecking order!!!! Grrr...so, gurgling stomach, I admitted defeat and wandered miserably back to work.
Got home and, starting to feel a bit of deja vu creeping on...you betcha...visitors! AND loads of them.
Me thinking my fake smiles could end at work had to keep up the charade until another late night, ready for school and catching up that the play has left me to contend with.

*sigh* Feeling only a little drained...
