T-21 days
Not that I’m counting, but three weeks from today we’ll be in Seattle and heading towards Chelan.
I’m ready for a vacation where I can take and afternoon nap and not feel like I should be doing something else. Like laundry, or weeding gardens, or painting dining rooms, or cleaning my room, or writing courses, or making bread for the show, or looking for a job, or, or, or.
Now, some kind souls would say “for goodness sakes! Take a nap! You need to take care of yourself. You can do that once in a while! SHOULD do it once in a while.”
Problem is? I did it yesterday too. Slept in (until about 9, I think) and then puttered around for a couple of hours. Went to the mall to do a couple of errands. One to get a new SIM chip for my craptacular AT&T/Cingular cell phone. And another a service appointment at the Apple Store. (No. Not to buy a new iPhone. To talk to a genius about why my power adapter has this intermittent habit of not working) After I got back from the Apple Store I stopped at the coffee shop and had a cuppa and chatted with the barista and the neighbors for about an hour.
When I came home I fooled around on the computer for a while, read a little and napped. When YM asked if I wanted to get take-out for dinner I jumped at the chance.
OK. Actually “jumped” is too active a word. I grunted and hauled my carcass out of the chair. Thank goodness we walked to the deli because it was the only exercise I’ve gotten all weekend.
At 7:30, dinner eaten and take-out containers picked up, I read a little more and then collapsed in bed. Up at 11:00 to let Libby the Wonder Poodle water the grass and then down for the count after a couple of Tylenol PM.
Now in my defense, at 11PM I had a stage 2 migraine, so maybe the lethargy all day was from that. Or it could have been from staying out until 3:30 AM Friday night at the cast party. Who’s to say?
Tonight is the show is closing. I’m feeling a little bittersweet about it. It’s a fun bunch of people but it will be nice to have my weekends back. It is yet another “ending” which seem to fills my life these days so the grief I’m feeling about it is magnified a bit out of proportion because I’m pre-grieving so much else.
I can’t fool myself anymore. The lethargy is winning. I’m going to change clothes and lay down for a bit before having to make bread and go to the show.
A year ago on This Journey I was struggling with making ends meet.
