Lots of breathing

Today required a lot of breathing, some to relax and some of relief, all to do with work.
With the end of the semester quickly approaching I have been working on everyone's schedules, including my own, trying to make sure everything is lined-out and ready to go. Planning for the summer has been interesting. With the smaller patient load this year, there have been fewer patients to test. Yet, as the summer approaches, many different programs always appear to pick up. Until this afternoon, we had one potential student who wanted to work and even then I wasn't sure that would work. Now we have two other potential students to work, both of whom will need to be trained on how to do everything on our team--for a month. The only real bonus for me is that one of them has completed all of her practical experience which will help in our summer kiddo program and planning. (deep breath)
Then there's the thorn in my side (but only for 5 more weeks). I simply don't know what to do. I feel like I'm doing so much for her that I don't want to help her anymore. But in the same respect, I want her done and gone. Now, with a month before she's really gone, nothing is done compared to what needs to be completed. And now she's expected to do nothing else at work, but try to accomplish the impossible, which means her duties will passed on to me. This wouldn't be so bad if she didn't have almost every hour of work time available for just that. (another deep breath).
A good thing is that we finally got our galley proofs, the ones that should have been here in December. The only problem is that, despite the fact they arrived, 5 months late, we have until Monday to go through them and get them returned. And I'm the one who gets to read through the galleys first to look for the errors all while doing other short-notice errands that must be done in 30 seconds.
But my breath of relaxation came from looking at my current vacation and sick time I've built up and realizing I have saved enough time to cover my leave in August. Talk about a sigh of relief.
Okay, enough fussing and whining...
BabyD is getting bigger, which means so am I. To quote Dr G, I'm "getting more pregnant every day" which is funny because I hope I am. :-)
That's all. Real update to come!
