Confessions of a workaholic

Today is day #10 of working straight without a day-off... 120 hours in 2 weeks. After 7pm tonight, I will be off until Monday morning. Although I was able to get through it, I'm never doing this again unless I'm really desperate. I'm exhausted, haven't been into the wedding planning mood, and my house is a mess. I have so many errands to run and I miss spending time with FI and our dog. And I'm grouchy today. I was a complete B*%ch to the pharmacist on the phone (but seriously I had to repoeat myself about 5 time). On a positive note, today is payday and it was great. Like I tell FI when I'm working a lot, I might be tired now, but I'll be happy when I get my paycheck.
I promised myself that 2 months before the wedding, I will stop doing overtime so I have time to workout and do last minute wedding stuff. I'm sure I can keep this promise. But I hope not to kill myself with overtime after the wedding (since I plan to make enough to pay everything in full). But there will always be something else. If not the wedding, saving up for another house... or a new car... or grad school.
The good thing is that I like my job. If I didn't like it, I wouldn't be working all the time.
