Refueling

Good morning.

OMG, thank god, I'm on vacation. One day down and I am starting to feel normal again. Yesterday I was soooo tired and so uninterested in doing anything; I gave myself permission to do nothing, and did little more than that. I did  leave the house to do some grocery shopping, but that was it. I even took a nap! I never nap. And today I feel like it is actually possible to refuel during this vacation, despite the fact that I had been running on empty--below E, on fumes--for the last several weeks. And it certainly doesnt't hurt knowing there are 9 only weeks left when we return. We went 18 weeks without vacation this last stretch; it's been ten weeks since those back-to-back snow days: those nine weeks should be a breeze.

I'm having dinner with my parents tonight (well, at 5) at a restaurant where they have a gift certificate (they are not restaurant people! I wonder where I come from...) but otherwise have no plans except to get some housework done so that I don't have to do everything tomorrow to get guest-ready. W comes to visit for a few days Tuesday, and I'm a little behind on housework. Somewhere in that cold and snowy stretch of 18 weeks I lost the motivation to have a perfect house. (After all, I was the only one hibernating here.) But now I need to catch up.Ugh....but I'm sure I'll be happy when my house gets back to beautiful.

I hope you're having a good weekend. If you aren't doing anything today, give me a call; I'll be happy for the break.

Love you,
Barb
