I felt oddly exhausted the first week back after the break. But I seem to have gotten it together. I think there's some kind of bug going around that's had me feeling kind of rundown this month, I think that could be part of it. I'm trying to look forward to spring but I think we're going to get a lot more winter before that happens.

Not really, I started a new job. What is making you feel overwhelmed?

I had a bunch of new projects thrown on my plate and it's just too much right now.

I understand how you’re feeling. I have been feeling overworked and completely exhausted for months now they’ve been laying off people so those of us who were still around, have so much extra work to do and my stress level and anxiety are through the roof, cause you never know when your job will be cut next

I’m so tired and stressed too 😭😭 but I’m hopefully starting a new job soon. Hang in there!

Very much so especially since Monday

Me, too.

I am right there with you. I don't know what it is about January but it seems like it drags on and on and you would swear the month had 87 days in it. I am already couting down until April when I am taking a few days off to go back home to Kansas.
