*thud*

That's the sound of me dropping from sheer exhaustion.

Today was supposed to be fairly low-key, with a semi-hectic morning of meeting set-up segueing into a quiet afternoon of most of my project team attending said meeting and me taking it easy and catching up on filing between getting up to go refresh the bottled water supply. But somehow some of the stragglers who aren't in on the big-ass client meeting are managing to keep me running my buns off with FedEx shipments and copies and paperwork prep. Is it any wonder I'm stuffing my piehole full of catered deli goodness at every opportunity?

Speaking of which, dear Lord, this here brownie is delicious.

I'm a wee bit on the irritable side, since I still don't feel that great and I really just want to sit down. Actually, I'd like to go lie down and take a nap, but at this rate I'll take sitting for more than five minutes at a time. Whinging aside, I'm actually feeling a bit better today than yesterday (and definitely better than Monday), but I'm still feeling pretty run down. I'm starting to think that perhaps, in retrospect, taking yesterday off to rest would have been an exercise in wisdom, but it's a bit late to do anything about it now.

In more chipper news, I called Citibank and got them to lower the interest rate on my credit card by 2%. I've put off doing this for years, because I always just assumed they'd say no, and that I'd have to fight with them; but I just asked, and they said "Sure! We can lower it by this much," and I said "Cool!" and it all took about two minutes, and now that's 2% more of my monthly payment that will go toward actually paying down my balance. It also happens to be .5% less than I was trying to get with the Prosper loan, so that works out pretty well, except for the part where I feel like a massive eedjit for not simply asking them to lower it sooner.

But seriously, you guys, I'm so tired. I don't know how I'm going to get through the rest of this day.
