Big Bash Week, Both Metaphorically and Literally Speaking

It's been a long an exhausting week for me in many ways, though really it's just been a lot of ups and downs. It was our Big Bash Week for the ward, which meant a different activity every day. Part of the exhaustion came from the fact that this is a lot of socializing for my taste. Of course, normally if it was just me, I would have simply skipped some things or left early when I felt like it. These options were eliminated, however, due to my desire to help a few other specific people. Closing the escape hatches on their behalf meant I was in it whole-hog for the long run.
