Too Tired

Hey there. Wow, I didn't know I was that tired...

Stopping at the supermarket after school was an imperative. I needed coffee for the morning and some other staples, as well as a couple of things to provide easy options for dinner. If I decided to be ambitious I'd need dough for the mushroom onion pizza tart. A little less ambitious, option two was blackened shrimp, so I would need Caesar dressing for the salad. If I decided on the lazy way out, I needed a fresh roll for a good sandwich. I treated myself to sunflowers and alstromeria (now that I'm back on the payroll I can afford my weekly flower habit), stopped for wine and headed home.

The food made it into cupboards and the refrigerator, as appropriate. Flowers made it into vases. I made it to the couch...and remained there for three hours! The glass of wine I poured is still on the side table untouched. Finally, I forced myself off the couch and into the kitchen to take care of dishes. How hard is it to handwash a couple of Rubbermaid containers and load the rest of the dishes into the dishwasher? On my way back to the couch I decided to stop at the computer (my laptop is out on my dining table), knowing that once I hit the couch again I am done for the day. No dinner, and no blog. Since I missed yesterday (I went out with C to one of my and W's fave places for drinks and appetizers after school. I spent most of the night catching up on phone calls), I didn't want to miss today.

I loved your entry yesterday. How was your counseling session? How did your chicken come out? How was your appointment with M's career counselor? Is that what they call guidance counselors out there? Hope your day continued on the positive note it started. You have convinced me to take a look at The Secret. Maybe I'll stop at the bookstore in my travels tomorrow....If I get my laundry and cleaning done in the morning perhaps I'll treat myself to an Outback special ;-) and bookstore browse. At some point over the weekend I also promise to get to the post office to mail you MdlS and another book that is slipping my mind. I think if I look at my summer reading list I'll remember. Yes. Jill A Davis. C still has that so I'll send MdlS and will get the other one out as soon as I get it back.

And that's my story. One more person from my past (retired school secretary) asked about my novel this afternoon and I am convinced I'm getting signs. Really? But even with all the nudging I am too tired to do anything about it (although I do consider this daily writing exercise a good warm up...). I can't believe I'm this wiped out. I suppose it was a busy, full week of school--that should be reason enough.

Hope all is well. Love, Barb
