I don't think I have ever worked as hard as I have the last few days.
I have absolutely no idea what I was thinking; I chilled and took it easy , thought that the drawings would be a piece of cake. Then reality hit me and I finally realised how much work I had to do! Unfortunately I totally underestimated the amount of work, and seemingly also overestimated my own productivity. It was fucking stressful.
My computer gave up on me several times, I temporarily lost some files (major freak out), I accidentally crushed my model, started building a new one, at the wrong scale, and in the middle of everything the estate agents called to announce that they were having a viewing. On Thursday. FUCKING THURSDAY?! The worst possible time. I explained that this would not be possible, and as a result I got the contract shoved in my face and I was told that they didn't really care, they were coming on Thursday. I don't even have to tell you what state my flat was in after 3 days of non stop working....This is where Dibs stepped in and saved me from insanity. She came over and cleaned the ENTIRE flat, in silence. I was not allowed to talk to her, only to focus on my model why she did everything from my dishes, piling up my many drawings and making my bed to Hilton standard. Then she made me a cup of tea and left.
What friend does that? Not your average pal, I tell you that. This is REAL friendship in its purest essence. I cannot thank her enough.
So after 4 days of hazardous amounts of caffeine, practically no sleep and more stress and frustration than you will find at Wall street after a total computer system crash, I am exhausted.
Now it's over. I have 4 nights worth of sleep to catch up on. But first I am gonna party out the last drop of energy remaining, although my levels are actually on minus so technically I am living on borrowed energy. Whatever.
There is actually a party on the street outside my window, which reminds me that I need to go purchase some vodka. I have to start drinking before I realise how trashed I am.
