Checking In

I'm in the home stretch of the first big deadline of tax season...March 15th is the deadline for corporations to file their tax returns.  Thankfully, with the help of codine cough syrup, a Z-pack and a little TLC from my Mama, I'm finally feeling like my usual (exhausted) self.  It just worked out perfectly that she needed to be in Nashville at the same time I thought I was getting pneumonia.

Work is crazy.  I worked more last week than any other week ever besides the one immediately before April 15th.  I'm almost 40 hours ahead of where I was last year which is scary.  I'm ready for a break.  The quote (below) describes what my busy season has been like so far:

While I'm grateful for the opportunities my promotion has brought and for what I'm learning, I'm so tired.  I wonder how I'm going to make it through another month.  There's no option other than to power through, so that's what I'm going to do.  Like I told a good friend earlier, "it all gets done somehow!"
