Barely Here

Hey, Amanda.

No worries. I haven’t been good about writing either. Honestly, I just feel off lately. Despite the new, spring-like weather I am feeling tired and sluggish. So much so that I wonder if my thyroid is off again. I’ve been going to bed early, but can’t sleep through the night, so waking up is a chore. Like I’ll skip a shower today and sleep another half hour chore.

Good news is I plan on taking tomorrow off. I’ll sleep in, then take a shower AND shave, and then W comes early afternoon, and we are starting our weekend by meeting J and K (the couple who got married in Maine this summer) at the local sports bar (they are both taking the day off, too) to watch March madness. Then W and I will go out for steak after a few beers and basketball. (Conveniently, Outback is across the street; both are close to home.)

Plans for the rest of the weekend include a lazy Saturday morning and nice breakfast with mimosas, stopping by my friend M’s house (M was with me the day W and I met and they haven’t seen each other since) later on, a little shopping, maybe more March madness, and cocktails later at our favorite restaurant. He has to head back early Sunday, so that’ll leave me with some me time on Sunday. Perfect.

Side note on being tired, that interestingly enough, even when I am, I can be pretty creative. In fact, sometimes I wonder if my bursts of creativity create the fatigue, as if zap me of my energy and leave me needing to fill the well with sleep first. A new idea came to me yesterday, through emails back and forth with C. I worked on it in my head last night, and this morning sat and wrote a first paragraph. We’ll see what happens…

Great to hear from you. Have a good day! I’ll write tomorrow over leisurely coffee.

xo,
Barb
