Just make it Monday, please

I often dread weekends... this one perhaps a bit more than usual. Today... yes/no decision on funding the Arctic field season at 11am. Then couples-counselling tonight. I wish I'd lined up lunch today, but have been too preoccupied to plan ahead. Tomorrow night... no plans. Some slightly-stressful socializing with the kids in the afternoon. Should have planned ahead, again. Sunday... Father's Day... no plans (sound familiar? heh) other than I need to confront the issues around my father's illness again and give him a call.

Why do other people look forward to weekends? For me, work is generally more satisfying and less stressful... still, three days and it will be over, thankfully.

I need to start personal counselling... the couples sessions can only handle a limited amount of personal issues. The issues with my father... I'm having trouble knowing where to start, or whether to express what I feel to him, or try to caretake and not upset him.

And true, I'm not alone... but I don't feel I can go on a hike or sleep late or read, either, unless I *am* alone for some reason. And the kid-noise can be deafening in a small house, with the TV blaring and kids fighting and toys crashing...
