Sep. 1st, 2008 01:00 pmSo, wow! I'd been writing in this thing so much and then I just stopped. I call it sheer exhaustion really.
I've been non-stop working at my job here lately. Since before I took the 2 days off to see GC (and recuperate from the amazingness), I've been putting in at the very least 2 extra hours a day. Last week I hit the max amount we're allowed before going into double-time (55 hours) and I've been very very close the 2 weeks prior to that. It's been insane, and it's left me with barely enough time to read LJ, let alone post in it. I already worked 4 hours on Saturday (our weeks go Saturday-Friday) so I've already got OT in for this next week as well.
That means that my concert update ended up being pushed aside but let me just say this...there are NO WORDS that can adequately describe how freaking happy I was to see GC live again. It's been way too long (over 3 freaking years) and I just hope it's not that long before I get to see them again! They're still amazing, still gorgeous and I still love that band in massively huge amounts. I flailed and I screamed and I sang as loud as I possibly could...I think I may have weirded out the teenies next to me who only knew the GMR songs with the way I was acting. I seriously considered driving to OH, or flying to Baltimore to see them again, but my sense of responsibility ended up prevailing. Part of me is disappointed, part of me knows I did the right thing.
This weekend has been spent (when I wasn't working) battling a cold and hanging out at home with the cats. Oh, and running errands and doing laundry. I filled up both cars to try to keep Gustav from affecting us too much, but only time will tell whether that worked. I should run and get cat litter and food today but so far I'm being lazy. I really just don't want to do anything today. I'll get moving eventually though, I have to. The less there is to do during the week, the better off things will be for me. :)
