erm, help?

I feel more than a little overwhelmed at the moment.

Of COURSE I didn't do any of my homework while I was back in Ottawa, so that means that not only am I behind on my readings, but I'm also behind on my grant applications, and I have three totally different ones to apply to this year, with deadlines coming up soon.

I also got a letter from CRA the other night, with a reassessment notice for the moving expenses tax credit I applied for. So now I have to fill out a bunch of forms and make a bunch of copies and hopefully I'll get the credit. If not, then I'm just as poor as I was before.

I think Andy and I are suffering from post-nuptial depression - we sleep in wayyy too late these days and have a marked preference for carb-loaded foods. I also feel a little burned out, because our trip was anything but relaxing (despite being totally awesome). In any case, I keep putting things off - I barely made my phone bill payment in time because I didn't want to open the mail.

We did, however, write almost all of our thank you notes to well-wishers and gift-givers from the wedding. I think we have maybe three left to write, and that's only because we're waiting on the arrival of some pleasant surprises.

So that's one thing to check off the list.

In any case, I hope to be able to get back to a routine next week, when I'm back on a regular work schedule and Andy's at school on the days I have off. I just need to get back into the school groove.
