Wipe OUT!!!!
Aug. 29th, 2010 12:46 pmI totally crashed yesterday. Like wiped out and crashed on the sofa, alternating between reading a cheezy Kim Harrison novel and sleeping. I woke up this morning going, WTF? What happened to Saturday? All my lovely time to "do stuff"?
My week was rough. Monday was my day off, but all the other days were crazy-busy-exhausting. ( a week spent tripping over my own super cape )
So when Saturday rolled around I crawled out of bed at 5am to do a store-run for my fruit-salad fixings. I carpooled with Ermine_Rat's family to Purgatorio and I sat in the back seat privvy to Hawk_Lad's muttered side-commentary. The world is a funny place through the eyes of a child. I am amused at how he reframes everything in terms of super-heroes and buffoons.
We got to site in good time, set up food stuff and spent the morning socializing with Villa Luna family and friends. It was fabulous, relaxing and I got to talk to some people who I don't get to see enough of. I was honored to speak for Aminah in her Pelican Ceremony; she is gifted and inspiring leader. I am jealous (in the best sense of the word) of the Pelican coat her Pelican made for her. Very styling! And then we went home. Zoom! I think I was home by 2pm and I didn't even have to drive. I thought that with such a "light" morning/ afternoon I'd have all sorts of energy. I'd planned to run, sew, BBQ, hang in my shed, chase kids (Hawk Lad spent the night with us), etc.
I did an hour run right away, but after my shower I fell asleep reading on the sofa. I was totally wiped out. I woke up around 7am today, refreshed. tired I was
I'm boggled at how totallly weary I was, but I guess sometimes I just need to slow down and sleep. A day of sleeping should recharge my batteries and I should be good for a month.
And today? I made waffles from scratch, cleaned out my fridge, started loads of laundry and will go running again before 5pm.
I have a race in 2 weeks and I'm thinking about that, too. More later... this bloggy thing is cutting into my "doing stuff" time.
What a great weekend!!!
