Apologies From A Very Tired, Very Slack Blogger

Dear Friends, Family and Any Blog Followers Who Haven't Given Up Now,
Just a little note to say that I'm very sorry I haven't been updating my blog recently.  I know how frustrating it is when you're sitting there at work, browsing the web (sorry, working real hard), checking your list of regular blogs that you read, and finding yet again, this one hasn't been updated.
It's not that I don't have things to say (well, actually, it is that I partly don't have anything exciting to say, Bris Vegas is a lot slower than London), its that I don't have time to say it.  The reason for this is simple - there are only 24 hours in a day, and I need 4 or 5 of them for sleeping.  At the moment, sadly, my whole life consists of the following daily grind:
5.15am   Alarm goes off (and snooze button goes on - for crying out loud, its 5.15am!)
5.45am-6.00am  Drag myself bleary-eyed from bed, cursing.
6.00am Get dressed, have brekky, try to open eyes
6.30am Get in car (praying that eyes are open now) and drive to work
7.45-8.00am Arrive at school having been stuck in traffic and pray desperately that there's a car park space left for me
8.25am School day kicks off
3.05pm School day finishes; time to attend meetings or rehearsals...
4.30pm Get back to desk, now try to catch up on all the work you should've done during the day but didn't get the chance to as you were spending too much time trying to figure out simple things like how to use the photocopier or where they keep the letterhead stationery
6.00pm -7.00pm Sometime in between try to leave school
After 8.00pm Arrive home absolutely shattered; have dinner; do more work
After 11.00pm Finally get to bed...!
Pathetic, isn't it.  Just pathetic.  Absolutely no time in there for a social life, or even for a little bit of downtime.  So you see, what with all the work I've been having to do, I just haven't had time to blog.  Or skype or even email - which is very disappointing when you look back and see that only a month or so ago, I promised to respond to all emails within 24 hours or some silliness.  And that proves my point of the time - New Year's Resolutions simply do not work.  I only had 2, and I haven't managed either.
I would love to make the promise that things will get better soon, but I seriously doubt it... for the immediate future anyway...
Anyway, please do keep checking this site though on the random off-chance that the hours in the day expand to 25 or 26, and I can get a chance to do something for me, like updating the blog...
It has to get better sometime, right?  Please...!
(oh and by the way, please keep checking because I have a load of blogs that I am working on, but haven't published yet - and when they get published, they will be out of order compared to this one - they'll appear earlier in the scheme of things - so do keep checking posts prior to this... You'll be looking for one about health, the Governor General and all sorts of stuff...)
