Slipped into overload mode...
...and here I thought I'd been behaving
myself pretty well and not overdoing things. Stayed home on Christmas day and
had a friend over and watched two movies.
On Friday, I took the night
off work and went to see "Return of the King" again.
Yesterday, I went to my dad's
and had a belated Christmas celebration there. We had dinner there (I was able
to eat everything there except for the stuffing, rolls and cobbler) and played a
few games. I was pretty wiped out afterward, though, and fell asleep on the ride
back home.
Today, I woke up
still exhausted and went to meet several family members at the Alzheimer's
facility where my grandmother is staying. I brought my camera and had several
opportunities for some good family pix, but I simply didn't have the energy to
go around the room in my walking cast and take them. Anyone who knows me well
could tell you that I must be tired indeed to skip out on a photo-taking
opportunity! I always thought in past years that the reason I got tired during
the holidays was from eating too much junk food, but I didn't eat ANY junk food
this time and am even more tired than before...so much for that theory. I ended
up skipping church tonight...I was afraid I'd end up dozing off during the
service, which would be
rude.
So here I am with a
jello brain, rust in my joints and a negative number on the enthusiasm scale.
I'm working all week this week, so I'd better perk up pretty quick.
I was gonna say something
else, but can't remember
it.....
