We’re supposed to get a new furniture thing delivered and they said they would start delivering to people at 4pm and not stop until they were done. By my estimation that means they’re arriving anywhere between 4pm and 11pm. 
It’s been a whirlwind since we arrived to the new place. We had a gas leak last Friday and the AC failed the next day. Just got the A/C installed today. Today I completely lost a work day since my new home office space is adjacent to the utility room where they were banging away.
Speaking of work, I’m writing a last minute federal grant concurrent with a longshot federal grant everyone insists upon, concurrent with revisions to a state award. They approved the award conditional upon revisions to the application. After working a couple days on narrative revisions, which were supposed to be due next Tuesday, they sent another email asking for budget revisions, to be due the 24th. So now I’ve got two different deadlines for the same application and a sinking feeling they didn’t want narrative revisions at all, just budget revisions.
Confirmed that today. “Sorry, we only need budget revisions. The system kicks out emails automatically, we have no control over what that says.”
Cool. That’s 48 hours I could have spent doing something else.
Speaking of, we applied for $190,000. They approved the award but said that because they received so many applications, they had to reduce everyone’s award. Rather than, I don’t know, giving money to the most competitive applicants, they are giving something to everyone. So we are getting $100,000.
It’s just felt like everything coming at me from all directions. All three projects are very cognitively demanding. Yesterday I went to work just to get my laptop charger and came home and decompressed for a few hours. Because it’s just so much to hold in my head.
Today, unable to use my home office, I spent most of the day unpacking. Installed a digital lock on the garage entrance door and it took way, way longer than necessary and I am exhausted
It also suddenly seems I’m very ill. And alone to deal with this delivery. Grand.
